Difference between version 7 and version 1:

Line 1 was replaced by line 1

+ An ontology is a formal specification of a set of concepts and their interrelationships. It can be visualized as a knowledge or concept map and is useful in reasoning about the relationships among concepts and among data that pertains to those concepts. The [Knowledge Representation Working Group|KnowledgeRepresentationWorkingGroup] is building foundational ontologies for biodiversity and ecological applications, and is trying to create a framework under which these ontologies can be extended.
Line 3 was replaced by lines 3-5
- is an explicit specification of an ecological concept visually represented with a knowledge map.
