Applied ontology

Applied ontology can involve the practical application of ontological resources to specific domains, such as management, relationships, biomedicine, information science or geography. Alternatively, applied ontology can aim more generally at developing improved methodologies for recording and organizing knowledge.

This article is about the application of philosophical ontology. For the term in computer science, see ontology (information science).

Much work in applied ontology is carried out within the framework of the Semantic Web.
