Abstract

In this paper we explore the issue of using some aspects of the Conceptual Graph Theory formalism to define functions on ontologies We exploit the formal definitions of type hierarchy and projection to define operations on an ontology, and then illustrate these ideas by demonstrating a knowledge base of historical interactions that was implemented on an ontology defined in this way.
