<div>The goal of the National Center for Ontological Research is to advance ontological investigation within the United States. NCOR serves as a vehicle to coordinate, to enhance, to publicize, and to seek funding for ontological research activities. It lays a special focus on ontology training and on the establishment of tools and measures for quality assurance of ontologies.<br />

<br />
'''Defining Ontology'''<br />
<br />
An ontology is a representation of some part of reality, (e.g. medicine, social reality, physics, etc.). Smith states that: “Ontology is the science of what is, of the kinds and structures of objects, properties, events, processes and relations in every area of reality…Ontology seeks to provide a definitive and exhaustive classification of entities in all spheres of being.”1 To be an accurate representation of reality an ontology includes the types of entities and events in a given domain (along with their definitions) arranged in a hierarchical structure, along with relations (such as part-of, depends-on, caused-by, etc. where necessary). Ontologies enable the formulation of robust and shareable descriptions of a given domain by providing a common controlled vocabulary for doctrine writers, IT Developers, and war-fighters alike, thereby allowing these disparate communities to communicate with each other. An ontology should be a shared resource between communities, and its continued collaborative development should support the integration of information and facilitate knowledge discovery.2 These two goals are realized by ensuring wide dissemination of the ontology, so that it will be used by many stakeholders, and its terms will be correspondingly familiar and readily used for search.<br />
<br />
'''Avoiding Perspective-Relative Silos'''<br />
<br />
Ontologies are often mischaracterized as taxonomies intended to represent some person’s (or community’s) perspective. However, the creation of perspective-relative taxonomies results in idiosyncratic and incompatible views of reality. It is precisely the perspective-relative approach to creating data models and taxonomies that results in data silos. <br />
<br />
Furthermore, these perspectives are not accurate descriptions of reality; a building is not a warehouse, a vehicle is not cargo, and a person is not a passenger. Rather, what is accurate to say is that a building is in the “warehouse role” for some temporal period (just as a person can be in a “passenger role”, and a vehicle in a “cargo role”). <br />
From the perspective-neutral point of view, a building is “a facility which is a relatively permanent enclosed construction over a plot of land, having a roof and usually windows and often more than one level, used for any of a wide variety of activities, as living, entertaining, or manufacturing” (Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary) The same building can be in any number of roles: house, community center, business, or even a target. <br />
<br />
In regards to perspective-relative taxonomies, Sharon Flank states that, “Taxonomies purport to map the way you think, so you can find what you want. Unfortunately, you don’t think the way I think, and your colleagues won’t necessarily think the way you think either ...” (Sharon Flank "Why Taxonomies are Doomed" http://www.docstoc.com/docs/38833312/Why-Taxonomies-Are-Doomed) <br />
<br />
Flank goes on to state that: “If your taxonomy needs to support long-term needs in a business or archive, it cannot afford personal idiosyncrasies. But idiosyncrasies are notoriously difficult to avoid … once you have a taxonomy, you aren’t finished. As the world changes, you need to update it and maintain it. Does anthrax belong under Weapons of Mass Destruction, or does it just stay under Diseases?" <br />
<br />
The problems identified by Flank are avoided through adoption of the perspective-neutral approach to ontology. The latter creates the conditions for avoiding those perspective-relative (idiosyncratic) and relatively unstable taxonomies, which are the cause of data silos. As has been shown in other domains—for example in biology—the problems identified by Flank can be greatly diminished (or eliminated altogether) by adherence to best practices for creating an ontology. (B, Smith, et al., “The OBO Foundry: Coordinated Evolution of Ontologies to Support Biomedical Data Integration”, Nature Biotechnology,25 (11), November 2007, 1251 -1255. http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v25/n11/pdf/nbt1346.pdf) <br />
<br />
So, how would a reality-centric (perspective-neutral) ontology treat Flank's Anthrax example? Properly speaking, Anthrax is not a Weapon of Mass Destruction—if this actually needs to be said. A disease ontology would properly define Anthrax as, “an infectious disease of warm-blooded animals (as cattle and sheep) caused by a spore-forming bacterium (Bacillus anthracis), transmissible to humans especially by the handling of infected products (as wool), and characterized by cutaneous ulcerating nodules or by often fatal lesions in the lungs.” (Merriam Webster's Online Dictionary). This same Anthrax Ontology would include Bacillus anthracis as the cause_of Anthrax. Furthermore, the ontology may also include the Bacillus anthracis bacterium in an enhancement_role used in a weapon of mass destruction. <br />

'''Avoiding Perspective-Relative Silos'''<br />
<br />
Ontologies are often mischaracterized as taxonomies intended to represent some person’s (or community’s) perspective. However, the creation of perspective-relative taxonomies results in idiosyncratic and incompatible views of reality. For example, a Targeting Officer maintains a targeting perspective, which results in the categorization of buildings, vehicles, and people as being all “targets”. Likewise, a logistics planner will maintain a logistics perspective, which results in the categorization of buildings as “facilities”, vehicles as “cargo”, and people as “passengers”. All of these things are also targets. It is precisely the perspective-relative approach to creating data models and taxonomies that results in data silos. <br />
<br />
Furthermore, these perspectives are not accurate descriptions of reality; a building is not a target, a vehicle is not cargo, and a person is not a passenger. Rather, what is accurate to say is that a building is in the “target role” for some temporal period (just as a person can be in a “passenger role”, and a vehicle in a “cargo role”). <br />

<br />
Ontology is both a branch of philosophy and a fast-growing component of computer science concerned with the development of formal representations of the entities and relations existing in a variety of application domains. Ontology has been shown to have considerable potential on the level of both pure research and applications. It provides foundations for diverse technologies in areas such as information integration, natural language processing, data annotation, and the construction of intelligent computer systems.<br />
<br />
The University at Buffalo has established the National Center for Ontological Research (NCOR) (http://ncor.buffalo.edu). NCOR partners with the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) (http://bioontology.org), together with a number of partner institutions drawn from academia, government, and industry [http://ncor.buffalo.edu/about2.htm#researchpartners].</div>NCORWikiSysophttps://ncorwiki.buffalo.edu/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=3317Main Page2009-10-17T21:14:03Z<p>NCORWikiSysop: </p>

<br />
== Goal & Statutes==<br />
<br />
=== Goal ===<br />
<br />
NCOR has the goal of advancing ontological investigation within the United States. It will serve as a vehicle to coordinate, to enhance, to publicize, and to seek funding for ontological research activities at its principal site and in its partner institutions. A special focus will be on the establishment of tools and measures for quality assurance of ontologies.<br />
<br />
NCOR will provide coordination, infrastructure, and other forms of support for investigators working in the United States on theoretical ontology and on applications in fields such as ontology of the sciences, spatial and cognitive ontology, terminological systems, enterprise ontology and in a variety of defense- and homeland security-related projects.<br />
<br />
It will also provide US researchers working in ontology-related areas with specialized support in seeking external funding and in assembling collaborative, interdisciplinary teams both nationally and internationally. It will aid the coordination of ontological projects being pursued by its partner institutions and also develop resources for the implementation and evaluation of ontologies. The Center will also engage in outreach endeavors that are designed to broaden the range of institutions and individuals accepting the goals of high quality ontology in both theory and practice.<br />
<br />
=== Statutes ===<br />
<br />
The statutes of the National Center for Ontological Research can be found here: [http://ncor.us/statutes.html]<br />
<br />
<br />
== Methodology ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Previous efforts at ontology building have been conceived primarily in pragmatic terms, as outgrowths of knowledge engineering or artificial intelligence research, or more generally as projects motivated by the need to solve problems internal to the development of computer systems. NCOR, in contrast, looks beyond the realm of software artifacts, starting out from the idea that the development of ontologies can profit from the application of theoretical rigor based in logic and philosophical ontology.<br />
<br />
Too many ontologies used in information systems have been constructed largely by taking as their starting point existing database systems or the conceptualizations used by the practitioners within given domains, without sufficiently checking whether these conceptualizations correspond with identifiable entities and relationships in the world beyond. NCOR advocates a view according to which, in advance of implementation, careful attention should be paid to what the world is like. Our approach does not dictate any particular philosophical or metaphysical stance with respect to the world being modeled. Indeed, we recognize that the same reality may be sliced in different ways when addressed from different perspectives. Our approach requires, however, that, whatever philosophical stance is taken, it is used consistently and rigorously and on the basis of clearly stated principles. At the same time we are devoting our energies to the development of tools designed to help in the selection between ontological frameworks on the basis of criteria such as usability, usefulness and accuracy of reasoning support.<br />
<br />
== Teaching ==<br />
<br />
A two-day ontology training event will take place in Buffalo on October 10-11, 2009. Details are available [[Ontology Class 2009 | here]].<br />

<br />
Ontology is both a branch of philosophy and a fast-growing component of computer science concerned with the development of formal representations of the entities and relations existing in a variety of application domains. Ontology has been shown to have considerable potential on the level of both pure research and applications. It provides foundations for diverse technologies in areas such as information integration, natural language processing, data annotation, and the construction of intelligent computer systems.<br />
<br />
The University at Buffalo has established the National Center for Ontological Research (NCOR) (http://ncor.buffalo.edu). NCOR partners with the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) (http://bioontology.org), together with a number of partner institutions drawn from academia, government, and industry [http://ncor.buffalo.edu/about2.htm#researchpartners].<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Goal ==<br />
<br />
<br />
NCOR has the goal of advancing ontological investigation within the United States. It will serve as a vehicle to coordinate, to enhance, to publicize, and to seek funding for ontological research activities at its principal site and in its partner institutions. A special focus will be on the establishment of tools and measures for quality assurance of ontologies.<br />
<br />
NCOR will provide coordination, infrastructure, and other forms of support for investigators working in the United States on theoretical ontology and on applications in fields such as ontology of the sciences, spatial and cognitive ontology, terminological systems, enterprise ontology and in a variety of defense- and homeland security-related projects.<br />
<br />
It will also provide US researchers working in ontology-related areas with specialized support in seeking external funding and in assembling collaborative, interdisciplinary teams both nationally and internationally. It will aid the coordination of ontological projects being pursued by its partner institutions and also develop resources for the implementation and evaluation of ontologies. The Center will also engage in outreach endeavors that are designed to broaden the range of institutions and individuals accepting the goals of high quality ontology in both theory and practice.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Methodology ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Previous efforts at ontology building have been conceived primarily in pragmatic terms, as outgrowths of knowledge engineering or artificial intelligence research, or more generally as projects motivated by the need to solve problems internal to the development of computer systems. NCOR, in contrast, looks beyond the realm of software artifacts, starting out from the idea that the development of ontologies can profit from the application of theoretical rigor based in logic and philosophical ontology.<br />
<br />
Too many ontologies used in information systems have been constructed largely by taking as their starting point existing database systems or the conceptualizations used by the practitioners within given domains, without sufficiently checking whether these conceptualizations correspond with identifiable entities and relationships in the world beyond. NCOR advocates a view according to which, in advance of implementation, careful attention should be paid to what the world is like. Our approach does not dictate any particular philosophical or metaphysical stance with respect to the world being modeled. Indeed, we recognize that the same reality may be sliced in different ways when addressed from different perspectives. Our approach requires, however, that, whatever philosophical stance is taken, it is used consistently and rigorously and on the basis of clearly stated principles. At the same time we are devoting our energies to the development of tools designed to help in the selection between ontological frameworks on the basis of criteria such as usability, usefulness and accuracy of reasoning support.<br />
<br />
== Teaching ==<br />
<br />
A two-day ontology training event will take place in Buffalo on October 10-11, 2009. Details are available [[Ontology Class 2009 | here]].<br />
