Abstract

Summary Foundational ontologies are ontologies that have a large scope, can be highly reusable in different modeling scenarios, are philosophically and conceptually well founded, and are semantically transparent. After the analysis and comparison of alternative theories on general notions like ‘having a property’, ‘being in time’ and ‘change through time’, this paper shows how specific elements of these theories can be coherently integrated into a foundational ontology. The ontology is here proposed as an improvement of the core elements of the ontology dolce and is thus called dolce-core.
