Thermodynamics Ontologies

You can see the hierarchy of ontologies used by the Thermodynamics domain theory in the following excerpt from the report automatically generated by Ontolingua. Each link points to the full indexed theory.

The Dme ontology defines concepts that are shared across all DME theories such as junction and system-model.

The Cml ontology defines the concepts that are essential to the semantics of the CML language such as active and model fragment.

The Cml ontology uses concepts that are defined in the Engineering Math ontologies. For instance, a time dependent relation employs the definition of a time quantity, which is defined in the Unary-Scalar-Functions ontology. You can continue to follow the chain along quantity.dimension and so on.
