| Formal ontologies are theories that attempt to give precise mathematical formulations of the properties and relations of certain entities. |
| This includes the development of the ISO19115 marine community profile for metadata and work on developing common vocabularies and ontologies. |
| Hence, various works have then been published as public ontologies or free software, allowing to be used at a Web scale. |
| There we saw a range of options, from relatively ontologically non-committal theories, to theories requiring highly specific ontologies. |
| Through the ages in East and West, many different ontologies have been put forward. |
| The semantic web began to make its presence felt in the conference, with sessions on ontologies, web agents, and web technologies. |
