Semantic Integration in the IFF
Robert E. Kent
TL;DR
This paper discusses the development of the IFF, a category theory-based framework for semantic integration of ontologies within the IEEE P1600.1 Standard Upper Ontology project, emphasizing its fusion construction for ontology composition.
Contribution
It introduces the IFF as a structural framework for ontology integration, utilizing category theory and fusion to enhance semantic interoperability.
Findings
The IFF employs fusion for semantic integration.
It provides a formal structure for ontology composition.
The framework supports the development of a standard upper ontology.
Abstract
The IEEE P1600.1 Standard Upper Ontology (SUO) project aims to specify an upper ontology that will provide a structure and a set of general concepts upon which domain ontologies could be constructed. The Information Flow Framework (IFF), which is being developed under the auspices of the SUO Working Group, represents the structural aspect of the SUO. The IFF is based on category theory. Semantic integration of object-level ontologies in the IFF is represented with its fusion construction. The IFF maintains ontologies using powerful composition primitives, which includes the fusion construction.
