Summary. OntoClean is a methodology for validating the ontological adequacy
of taxonomic relationships. It is based on highly general ontological notions drawn
from philosophy, like essence, identity, and unity, which are used to characterize
relevant aspects of the intended meaning of the properties, classes, and relations
that make up an ontology. These aspects are represented by formal metaproperties,
which impose several constraints on the taxonomic structure of an ontology. The
analysis of these constraints helps in evaluating and validating the choices made.
In this chapter we present an informal overview of the philosophical notions in-
volved and their role in OntoClean, review some common ontological pitfalls, and
walk through the example that has appeared in pieces in previous papers and has
been the basis of numerous tutorials and talks.
8.1 Introduction
The OntoClean methodology was first introduced in a series of conference-length
papers in 2000 [Guarino and Welty, 2000a-c; Welty and Guarino, 2001], and re-
ceived much attention and use in subsequent years. The main contribution of
OntoClean was the beginning of a formal foundation for ontological analysis.
Alan Rector, a seasoned veteran at ontological analysis in the medical domain,
said of OntoClean, “…what you have done is reduce the amount of time I spend
arguing with doctors that the way I want to model the world is right…” [Rector,
2002]. A similar comment came from the CYC people attending our AAAI-2000
tutorial, “You showed why the heuristic choices we adopted were right.” Most ex-
