Abstract

This paper discusses current conceptions of ontology in computer science focussing on cultural specification and temporalization. It is pointed out, first, that ontologies arrange the world, they do not represent it; second, that ontologies, except logical Formal Ontologies, can be developed within a cultural framework; third, Top Level and Domain Ontologies have to be complemented by Pragmatic Ontologies, if they are to be used in every-day life; fourth, Pragmatic Ontologies magnify the problem of temporalizing ontologies.
