question
What is an ontology?
answer
An ontology is a set of formal definitions of concepts and things in some domain. These machine-understandable artifacts can range in scope from narrow to universal. The Yahoo and Open Directory project's hierarchies are often mentioned as examples of ontologies, but are more properly called taxonomies because they are mostly just hierarchic classifications rather than having enough structural sophistication to provide a basis for inferences about their contents. There are several efforts to create universal ontologies, e.g. http://suo.ieee.org/http://www.opencyc.org/
