One of the most important characteristics of today’s society is that a huge amount of information is shared by many participants (people, applications). This information must be characterized by a uniformity of terms. This means that, in similar contexts, everyone should understand the same meaning when reading or hearing the same word and everyone should use the same word to refer to the same concept. In different Computer Science disciplines one of the methods that satisfies this need for “common understanding” of concepts is the creation of
ontologies
. Curiously, there are different interpretations of what ontology is. In this chapter, we show the way that the concept of ontology has expanded from Philosophy into Computer Science.
