Ontology Engineering for TypeScript

"An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization." — Thomas R. Gruber, Stanford KSL, 1993

Overview

This skill teaches Stanford's 7-step ontology development methodology adapted for TypeScript + SQL domain modeling. It transforms unstructured domain knowledge into rigorous, typed data architectures.

Three theoretical pillars:

1. Gruber 1993 — Defined ontology, Ontolingua translation architecture, 5 design criteria
2. Noy & McGuinness 2001 — Systematized into 7-step Ontology 101 methodology
3. Shen Xin 2025 — Applied to enterprise systems (Digital Intelligence Triad, ITPAO fractal)

Three fundamental rules:

1. There is no single correct way to model a domain — the best solution depends on the application
2. Ontology development is necessarily iterative
3. Concepts should be close to real objects and relationships in your domain
