Abstract:
In this paper we are interested in identifying the ecologically relevant points of an ontology. What is it that makes an ontology more or less ecological? Specifically, it is a question whether or not the integration of two or more ecological ontologies furthers ecological analysis by showing how a function described by one of the ontologies is carried out. We discuss the importance of recursion, roles, space, and time for the differentiation of eco-ontologies from other non-ecological ontologies.
