【 摘 要 】

Ontologies have been part of developing information systems in Shell for some twenty years, taking the form of data models and reference dataused within information systems. A problem in reusing or integrating systems isthe context that they assume, which may not be valid beyond the scope of animplementation. Lessons learnt include trying to ensure that the context isexplicit, and that what are really local rules in a global context are not definedas global rules in a local context. These lessons have been applied in thedevelopment of International Standards to provide an architecture forintegration and a data model that includes both a foundation ontology that hasbeen developed on a well defined and consistent basis, and provides a framework for extension of the ontology through reference data.
