Using “Unit-Function-Object” Approach to Solve Main Problems in Ontology Engineering

This article is devoted to the main problems in the one of the most actual research area in knowledge management - ontology engineering. An original approach to solving the problems of applied ontologies building, inference on them, ontology mapping and merging, which is based on the “Unit-Function-Object” approach, is proposed. The main components of the corresponding methods with the basis of UFO approach and UFO domain modeling principles are considered.
