The Elementary Multiperspective Material Ontology (EMMO)
The EMMO has grown from the bottom (i.e. scientific application field) to the top (i.e. conceptualization), staying focused on the original scope while at the same time maintaining an approach as general as possible. The ontological framework has been built around concepts like elementary particles, wave-particle dualism, finiteness of space and time intervals coming from the perspective for experimental physics. The development of the middle and upper layers of the ontology has been functional to the respect of these low level concepts, to facilitate the understanding of the high level concepts to users with limited or no philosophical background.
1.
In the compacted ontology, all modules has been squashed together into a single file
with no imports. rdfs:isDefinedBy annotations referring to the original module IRI
have been added.
2.
Inferred ontologies are reasoned and compacted.
3.
In a renamed ontology has the numerical ID part of the IRIs been
replaced with human readable prefLabel's.
The original IRI is available via a skos:exactMatch annotation.
The renamed ontologies are also compacted and inferred.
