Lightweight Ontologies

Lightweight Ontology is an ontology that belongs to the class of formal, explicit specifications of a conceptualization but is distinguished by its minimal complexity, limited expressivity, and focus on reusing simple, interlinked vocabularies—often based on RDF and RDFS or轻量级 extensions thereof—to support scalable, flexible knowledge representation particularly in open and distributed environments like the Semantic Web.
