Abstract

In this chapter, we are not discussing ontologies in metaphysics (ontology: a branch of metaphysics concerned with the nature and relations of being), rather we are interested in computer science ontologies. According to Wikipedia the definition of this is almost equally baffling: “an ontology is a formal naming and definition of the types, properties, and interrelationships of entities that really or fundamentally exist for a particular domain of discourse” (Ontology (information science) n.d.). In this chapter, we provide a more extensive and concrete definition of ontologies that should make the meaning clear. We then proceed to describe an ontology for unconventional conflict.
