Document Ontology (draft)
| Id: | document-ont |
| Version: | 1.0 |
| Description: | This ontology models documents of all kinds, but focuses on publications. Many of the document types were borrowed from the Structuralist Dublin Core Resource Types proposal. Others were borrowed from the PubMed document classifications. Please send any comments or suggestions to the contact listed below. This is a draft ontology and may change at any time. |

Extended Ontologies
The following ontologies are extended by the current ontology: 数据挖掘研究院
- General Ontology (gen: general-ont, v. 1.0 )
Renames
An ontology may rename elements from another ontology in order to provide a shortcut for referencing that element or to provide an alternate term for it. 数据挖掘研究院
No elements are renamed by this ontology.
Categories
The following taxonomy is the collection of categories declared in this ontology. The hierarchical form is intended to show the ISA chain. Categories in [Brackets] are not defined here but are defined in an ontology extended by this one. Elements in {Braces} are additional supercategories of the category immediately before them (signifying multiple inheritance). Categories followed by an asterisk are defined in another ontology but are provided with a local alias. 数据挖掘实验室

Relationships
Relationships are declared between one or more arguments, where each argument is either a type or a category. If the argument is a category, any subcategory of that category is valid as well. Relationships which have a local alias but are defined in another ontology are followed by an asterisk.

Constants
Constants are used to identify instances that may be commonly used with an ontology. In this section, each constant is grouped under its category.
No constants are defined.
Inferences
Inference rules are used to determine what additional facts can be implied if other facts are known. They take the form of if/then rules. 数据挖掘研究院
No inference rules are defined. 数据挖掘研究院
Definitions
- Abstract
- A summarization of another document.
- Advertisement
- For example, a job posting.
- Article
- Objects where the contents are of such length and/or self-contained in subject matter that the author would consider this as an article. The purpose of the contents is to fully realize a particular objective in a relatively concise form. This class includes essays, stories, preprints, and other short written forms.
- Communication
- Something that is communicated between people or groups. Communications generaly have a language, a communicator and one or more recipients. A program is a communication between a person and a computer, in particular it is a set of commands.
- Dictionary
- An organized list of terms and their definitions.
- Document
- A representation of someone′s thinking. There are three ways of looking at a document: the physical object that one reads, the set of ideas contained within that object or as the event of communicating the ideas. The later is a little more iffy when we try to pin down the location and date of the event that is a Book. We must be able to handle all sorts of documents, including driver′s licenses, grocery lists, the Constitution, etc.
