The KACTUS View on the 'O' Word

This paper describes the view taking in the ESPRIT project ``KACTUS'' on the notion of ontology. KACTUS is an application-driven project concerned with knowledge reuse in technical doamins. This paper discusses part of the theoretical background of the project. The use of the definitions of ``ontology'' and related terms is illustrated through an example in the VT elevator-design domain.
