Abstract:
In this paper we present the design of a restaurant ontology, which involves
a methodology, Yet Another Methodology for Ontology (YAMO). It is a hybrid
approach that combines both top-down and bottom-up methods of knowledge
organization. The YAMO approach is highly motivated by Ranganathan’s analytico-synthetic classification theory. This paper has also portrayed mathematically how a subpart of the restaurant ontology can be used as core ontology for the domain food.
