• Problem solved?<br />

semantics<br />

• Our solution is based on the assumption that<br />

people also agree on using the classes of<br />

“river” and “money” and the properties of “is<br />

one side of” and “deals with”.<br />

• What if some people use “stream” instead of<br />

“river” in their ontologies?<br />

• Then do we have to create ontologies to<br />

define every word in our world? That may be<br />

even more difficult than creating a new<br />

language.<br />
