SNAP and SPAN: Towards Dynamic Spatial Ontology

P. Grenon, Barry Smith
Computer Science
Spatial Cogn. Comput.
1 March 2004

We propose a modular ontology of the dynamic features of reality and provide characterizations of spatiotemporal reasoning in the light of the interconnections between them. Expand

Building Ontologies with Basic Formal Ontology

R. Arp, Barry Smith, A. Spear
Computer Science
31 July 2015

This book provides an introduction to the field of applied ontology that is of particular relevance to biomedicine, covering theoretical components of ontologies, best practices for ontology design, and examples of biomedical ontologies in use. Expand

Biodynamic ontology: applying BFO in the biomedical domain.

P. Grenon, Barry Smith, L. Goldberg
Computer Science, Medicine
Studies in health technology and informatics
2004

We propose a modular formal ontology of the biomedical domain with two components, one for biological objects, corresponding broadly to anatomy, and another for biological processes, corresponding more broadly to physiology. Expand

Mereotopology: A Theory of Parts and Boundaries

Barry Smith
Computer Science
Data Knowl. Eng.
1 November 1996

The term ‘ontology’ has recently acquired a certain currency within the knowledge engineering community, especially in relation to the ARPA knowledge-sharing initiative. Expand

Beyond Concepts: Ontology as Reality Representation

Barry Smith
Computer Science
2004

We argue that ontologies de- veloped for research in the natural sciences should be understood as having as their subject matter, not concepts, but rather the universals and particulars which exist in reality and are captured in scientific laws. Expand
