In multiagent systems ontologies are essential because they facilitate tasks like communications and reasoning. In this paper, inspired by studies in cognitive psychology, we present a theoretical framework of ontologies that model concepts and properties in a way that typicality of objects can be reflected, and in which context plays a major role in determining the interpretation of the concepts. Typicality is a very common phenomenon observed in different cognitive tasks, while context has been proved to have significant influences on reasoning and categorization. This framework brings together these issues and gives a formal representation of context-sensitive ontologies.
