OOPS! The ontology is

inconsistent.

Get an explanation.

Choose a problem

class, get an

explanation.

Scan to find

obviously

wrong axioms.

What did I

just change?

Find group of axioms

related to theme; often a

single mistake has ripple

Draw a Venn

Choose a class

in explanation.

Once the ontology is

If so, use the explanation

Subclass of

gist:Goal

sheo:TargetedGoal A Goal targeted at one or more

agents. The goal that some

"targeted" agent or population

does, has, is, knows or believes

"something."

(N) sheo:_goalOf

min 1

sheo:TargetedGoal

sheo:IntendedGoal A TargetedGoal that is intended by e.g. an

agent, regulation or event. A

GoalOnAgent might be that JoeBlogs

buys something. It becomes an Intention

when some agent declares that as a goal.

Differs from gist:Intention which is more

generic and not tied to any agent.

--- AND ---

sheo:SelfTargetedGoal An Intention where the Agent intends a

goal on him/her/itself. Cannot be

expressed in OWL.

sheo:businessDefinition An end to which effort is directed.

(N) sheo:object

some sheo:ObjectOfIntention

gist:Goal A specific intentional endpoint usually to

do, have, be, know or believe something.

The something is the object of the

intention. Adds structure to original

sheo:_Ownable

sheo:StateOrCondition

sheo:Proposition

gist:Behavior

sheo:businessDefinition The focus of the thing wanted in a goal.

sheo:ObjectOfIntention Something that helps to characterize the

nature of a goal. The thing to believe,

know, do, have or be. To have an

Ownable; To be or to be in a state or

condition (e.g. happy). To know or

believe a proposition or know about

information. To do a behavior.

sheo:ExecutableSpecification A specification that is sufficiently well specified that it

can be executed by an agent with no additional

information required.

sheo:businessDefinition A document or form used as a common

starting point for a new document or form.

sheo:_Template A structure that is used as the basis for

generating new individuals that have that

structure, e.g., a form. A filled-in form has the

structure of the form with data entered into some

or all of the fields.

sheo:Specification A body of information specifying what properties,

structure and/or results something should or must have

after it has been built, fulfilled or completed. The thing

may be physical (a building), organizational (a

management structure), computational (a program), job

or task related (e.g., a CEO, Chief Judge) or changing oil

in a car. It is more general than gist:Template because 1)

It is focused on what, not necessarily how; 2) it does not

require to be executed by a computer program, but by

any agent or set of agents.

Rules, Regulations, Procedures,

Agreements, Guidelines, Offers are all ways

to influence behavior in someway.
