Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the term “Semantology” for naming the theory of semantic structures and their connections. Semantic structures are fundamental for representing knowledge which we demonstrate by discussing basic methods of knowledge representation. In this context we discuss why, in the field of knowledge representation, the term “Semantology” should be given preference to the term “Ontology” .
