PREFACE
This tutorial course describes the current state of the art of ontological engineering which is a successor of knowledge engineering. It covers theory, tools and  applications and consists of three parts: Part 1 is an introduction to ontological engineering, Part 2 describes ontology development, languages and tools, and Part 3 is an advanced course dealing with philosophical issues of ontology design together with detailed guidelines of ontology development. Part 3 also presents a success
story of ontological engineering with the deployment result in a company. The philosophy behind this tutorial is that ontological engineering is viewed as a challenge to enabling knowledge sharing and reuse which knowledge engineering failed to realize. Therefore, one of the major topics dealt with in this tutorial is to explain what an ontology should be while explaining how it is understood currently.
For readers’ information, the following is the contents of Parts 1 ,2 and 3:
Parts 1:
1. Introduction
2. What is an ontology?
2.1 A concrete example
2.2 Definitions
3. Why ontology?
3.1 A short history of knowledge processing research
3.2 From knowledge engineering to Ontological engineering
3.3 Semantic interoperability in semantic web
4. Types of ontology
4.1 Upper ontology
4.2 Domain ontology and task ontology
4.3 Heavy-weight ontology and light-weight ontology
5. Further explanation
5.1 FAQ
(1) How is an ontology different from a knowledge base?
(2) How an ontology is different from the class hierarchy in object-oriented paradigm?
(3) What’s new? How is it different from taxonomy of concepts?
(4) What is the computational semantics of an ontology? Is it just a set of labels?
(5) Do you force people to accept your ontology?
(6) Is it possible for you to come up with a stable and agreed ontology in this rapidly
changing society?
