Abstract

Ontology is the explicit representation of domain concept model. It can well express the complicated relationships between objects. Since formal ontology is the foundation of domain knowledge sharing and reusing, the formal ontology and associated concepts are stated in this paper. Previously research on ontology construction is high-cost and time-consuming, a new method of building ontology using inheritance is presented. The constructive algorithm of ontology inheritance is investigated to make the construction of ontology in an engineering way and to improve the quality of ontology. The methods to deal with conflicts and inconsistencies due to multi-inheritance and inheritance with exceptions are proposed.
