Ontology engineering , universal algebra , and category theory ?

In this chapter we review a category theoretic approach to ontology engineering. Using ideas from universal algebra, we carefully distinguish presentations of ontologies from the ontologies themselves. This leads to a precise notion of “view”, and views can be used both to create new ontologies incorporating existing ontologies while recognising their common classes and relations, and to develo...
