Ontologies and Thesauri References
An ontology is a representation of knowledge, generally of a particular domain, written with a standardized, structured syntax that describes the relationship between concepts, also called resources, that serve to characterize the domain. Read more on ontologies…
Thesauri are similar to ontologies in that they can describe hierarchical and associative relationships between terms. However, they are generally used to facilitate indexing and retrieval of written and recorded items. Read more on thesauri…
MMI provides references to ontologies and thesauri that it is aware of, including a description, link to the ontology or thesaurus, and an informal characterization of its maturity, in some cases. If you would like to see a reference added, please contact us or sign up for an MMI account and add it yourself. You may also search all references.
