Ontology double articulation
Ontology double articulation refers to the methodological principle in ontology engineering, that an ontology should be built as separate domain axiomatizations and application axiomatization. According to this principle, an application axiomatization should be built in terms of a domain axiomatization. While a domain axiomatization focuses on the characterization of the intended meaning of a vocabulary at the domain level, application axiomatizations mainly focus on the usability of this vocabulary according to certain application/usability perspectives. An application axiomatization is intended to specify the legal models of the application interest. This enables reuse of domain knowledge, use of application knowledge,and interoperability of applications. See.
The CContology is an ebusiness ontology, that was built according to the ontology double articulation principle. DogmaModeler is a modeling tool that was also supports this principle.
