SUMO class
The Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO), a product of the IEEE Standard Upper Ontology Working Group, is an upper ontology that defines a hierarchy of a number of general classes, the SUMO classes. SUMO concerns itself with meta-level concepts (general entities that do not belong to a specific problem domain), and thereby would
lead naturally to a categorization scheme for encyclopedias. SUMO is organized for interoperability of automated reasoning engines. To maximize compatibility, schema designers can try to assure that their naming conventions use the same meanings as SUMO for identical words, (eg: agent, process). View the graphical representation in ([[Portable Document Format|PDF format])] to see how these classes are connected; the relationships are described by KIF definitions for automated processing (english comments attached), each definition representing an asserted fact about the classes, below.
