Information technology — Top-level ontologies (TLO) — Part 3: Descriptive ontology for linguistic and cognitive engineering (DOLCE)

This document describes descriptive ontology for finguistic and cognitive engineering (DOLCE) as an ontology that is conformant to the requirements specified for top-level ontologies in ISO/IEC 21838-1. This document describes DOLCE as a resource designed to support ontology design, ontology integration, and semantic integration of heterogeneous information systems. The following are within the scope of this document: — definitions of classes and relations in the signature of DOLCE; — axiomatizations of DOLCE in OWL 2 and CL; — documentation of the conformity of DOLCE to the requirements specified for top-level ontologies in ISO/IEC 21838-1; — documentation of the methodology for specifying domain ontologies that conform to DOLCE. The following are outside the scope of this document: — specification of ontology languages, including the languages RDF, OWL, and CL standardly used in ontology development; — specification of methods for reasoning with ontologies; — specification of translators between the notations of ontologies developed in different ontology languages.
