Before diving into discussing EMM, it is helpful to say a few words about ontology and epistemology. Ontology can be understood from a philosophical as well as a computer science point of view. In philosophy, ontology is a branch of metaphysics studying the nature of reality (all that is or exists), and the different entities and categories within reality. Ontology has its counterpart in epistemology, which revolves around the study of knowledge and how to reach it. Ontology is often equated with reality, whereas epistemology is related to constructivism, i.e., the way the world is constructed in our minds.
In computer science, especially in the field of semantic web and knowledge representation, ontology is defined as: a formal description of knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain and the relationships that hold between them. To enable such a description, the concepts that makes up an ontology need to be specified formally, such as individuals (instances of objects), classes, attributes and relations as well as restrictions, rules and axioms. As a result, ontologies do not only introduce a sharable and reusable knowledge representation but they are also used to add new knowledge about the domain.
