| onology | An ontology defines the common terms and concepts (meaning) used to describe and represent an area of knowl- edge. An ontology can range in expressivity from a Taxonomy (knowledge with minimal hierarchy or a parent/child structure), to a Thesaurus (words and synonyms), to a Conceptual Model (with more complex knowledge), to a Logical Theory (with very rich, complex, consistent, and meaningful knowledge). | Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM), version 1.1, September 2014, ODM 1.1 PDF |
| vocabulary | A vocabulary is a set of designations (such as terms and names) and verb concept wordings primarily drawn from a single language to express concepts within a body of shared meanings. Note that this specification does not use the word “vocabulary” to refer to a dictionary or to any other sort of collection of terminological data. | Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR), version 1.2, November 2013, SBVR 1.2 PDF |
