;; SMINK001 An ontology derived from
;; SUMO (Suggested Upper Merged Ontology) (Teknowledge)
;; (from merge.txt version 1.566 for Ontolog ontology)
;; MILO (MId-LevelOntology) (Teknowledge)
;; and Invoices -- an ontology developed by the Ontolog
;; study group
;; file version samin001.txt -- modified for import into Protege
;; by P. Cassidy January 2004
;; Last edit January 21, 2004
;; ================================================
;; This is the source file for the SUMO (Suggested Upper Merged Ontology),
;; an ontology that was developed within the SUO Working Group by merging
;; the SUO "candidate content" sources and refining and extending this content on
;; the basis of various knowledge engineering projects and input from the SUO
;; Working Group.
;; The SUMO incorporates elements of John Sowa's upper ontology (as described at
;; http://www.bestweb.net/~sowa/ontology/toplevel.htm and in Chapter 2 of his
;; book _Knowledge Representation_, Brooks/Cole, 2000), Russell and Norvig's
;; ontology, PSL (Process Specification Language), Casati and Varzi's theory of
;; holes, Allen's temporal axioms, the relatively noncontroversial elements of
;; Smith's and Guarino's respective mereotopologies, the KIF formalization of the
;; CPR (Core Plan Representation), the ontologies available on the Ontolingua
;; server maintained by Stanford University's Knowledge Systems Laboratory, the
;; ontologies developed by ITBM-CNR, some of the spatial relations from an
;; unpublished paper by Iris Tommelein and Anil Gupta entitled "Conceptual
;; Structures for Spatial Reasoning", and a "Structural Ontology" proposed by
;; David Whitten and substantially revised and extended by Chris Menzel.
;; Note that some of the subclasses of 'Process' in the SUMO were originally
;; inspired by some of the verb classes from the second part of Beth Levin's book
;; "English Verb Classes and Alternations: A Preliminary Investigation."
;; The knowledge representation language in which the SUMO is expressed is SUO-KIF,
;; which stands for "Standard Upper Ontology - Knowledge Interchange Format". SUO-KIF
;; is a simplified form of the popular KIF knowledge representation language. A
;; specification of SUO-KIF can be found at: http://suo.ieee.org/suo-kif.html. It
;; should be noted that some of the axioms in the SUMO make use of row variables
;; (indicated with a "@" prefix). Such variables are not currently part of the SUO-
;; KIF specification, but they simplify matters significantly in some cases. Details
;; about row variables can be found in the following paper:
;; http://reliant.teknowledge.com/IJCAI01/HayesMenzel-SKIF-IJCAI2001.pdf.
;; The SUMO is a modular ontology. That is, the ontology is divided into
;; self-contained subontologies. Each subontology is indicated by a section
;; header, and the dependencies between the subontologies are specified with
;; statements of the form ";; INCLUDES '<SUBONTOLOGY>'". These statements are
;; found at the beginning of each section. The dependencies between the
;; various subontologies can also be graphed informally as follows:
;;
;; STRUCTURAL ONTOLOGY
;; +
;; |
;; |
;; +
;; BASE ONTOLOGY
;; / | | \
;; / | | \
;; / | | \
;; / | | \
;; / | | \
;; + + + +
;; SET/CLASS THEORY NUMERIC TEMPORAL MEREOTOPOLOGY
;; / | | |
;; / | | |
;; / | | |
;; + + + +
;; GRAPH MEASURE PROCESSES +--+ OBJECTS
;; + +
;; \ /
;; \ /
;; \ /
;; + +
;; QUALITIES
;;
;;
;; Note that the "+" sign at the end of an arc indicates the direction of
;; dependency - the node near the sign includes the subontology at the other
;; end of the arc. Note too that in some cases the dependency is
;; bidirectional. Separating ontologies in cases like these is useful when
;; their respective topics can be cleanly differentiated.
;; The SUMO is copyrighted by Teknowledge (c) 2002. It is released under the
;; GNU Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>. Users of this
;; code also consent, by use of this material, to credit Teknowledge in any writings,
