Towards a Cyber Information Ontology
This work addresses the challenge of ontology interoperability in cyber domains, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing ontologies without claiming major breakthroughs.
The paper tackles the problem of integrating cyber-specific ontologies with broader top- and mid-level ontologies by introducing a set of terms focused on unique aspects of cyberinformation management, such as copying and aggregates of information items, to serve as an interface.
This paper introduces a set of terms that are intended to act as an interface between cyber ontologies (like a file system ontology or a data fusion ontology) and top- and mid-level ontologies, specifically Basic Formal Ontology and the Common Core Ontologies. These terms center on what makes cyberinformation management unique: numerous acts of copying items of information, the aggregates of copies that result from those acts, and the faithful members of those aggregates that represent all other members.
