on basis of wheels, sources, colour many vehicles get classify in different categories
but they are having some common features and inter relationships.
Ontologies are only strong if attributes are related to other attributes. If that is not
the situation, then either taxonomy or controlled vocabulary is used.
4. Relations
The way in which objects or classes are connected with each other based on a
property is known as Relation between objects or classes. Relationships (relations)
among entities in ontology identify how entities are interrelated to each other. For
example, in Fig. 1 both truck and bus are six wheeler vehicles. Set of associations
defines the semantics of the area. An important category of relation is the subsumption relation. This relationship describes which object belongs to which class.
This helps to create a tree structure of objects which represents relation among objects
having common attributes and properties. Another one is mereology relation, which
represents association in a class or classes of objects. It uses a directed acyclic
graph for data representation. Relation can be categories for relations among classes,
individuals, single individual and one class, a object and a collection of objects and
collections
5. Function terms
Function terms are structure which is get developed on basis of a relation among
individuals. It
6. Restrictions
A limiting condition which used to satisfied for development of range and domain
for individuals is Restriction on Individual. It restricts objects in a certain type of
concept.
7. Rules
Set of some conditions need to be fulfil by individual to qualify the minimum
requirement to create a relation or to belong to a class. It is a logical statement
8. Axioms
Prior Knowledge about the individuals, help to create Axioms. Axioms are set
of rules known before and based on learned data. These assumptions plays most
important role. The prior knowledge is necessary about the application to decide the
axioms in ontology. These will help to initialize basic known category for data. This
will reduce the data processing time and complexity of the processing.
9. Events
The change of state of one individual to another based on some logic is known as
event. It shows the transaction among the relationship or attributes of individuals on
a input.
