Title
Ontologies for universal information systems
Source
Journal of information science. 21(1995) no.3, S.232-239
Year

Abstract
The increasing complexity of problems addressed by massively distributed information systems has led to the development of worldwide information systems, such as the WWW and Hyper-G. Presents a conceptual framework for those systems using a knowledge representation language, Telos, by concentrating on the semantics of their domains. The framework is developed and based on careful analysis and abstraction of those existing systems. By creating a rich and precise conceptual framework, provides a foundation for the specification and implementation of future universal information systems.
