How Ontologies Make Using Data Easier

There are many ways to organize data, including vocabularies, taxonomies, thesauri, topic maps, logical models, and relational databases. What makes using ontologies to organize data special is the flexibility they afford. For example, with an ontology, changing a property is as easy as changing the semantic concept that underpins that property. The key here is […]
