Dig Deep About Our Technology
Ontologies are at the heart of IntuView’s technology. They provide a computer-readable conceptualization of domains, transforming raw words into structured, precise, and culturally aware meaning.
Structure
What is an Ontology?
An ontology formally represents “knowledge” in a structured way, defined through:
Hierarchies of Concepts – Object classes, sub-classes, and instances (e.g., Land Vehicles → Hybrid Cars → Toyota Prius).
Attributes & Relationships – Each concept or instance carries attributes (e.g., Engine Type = Hybrid, Manufacturer = Toyota).
Contextual Links – Concepts are related when they share hierarchy, attributes, or proximity (e.g., Penn Station → Manhattan → New York City → USA).

Why Ontologies Matter
In a world where words have many meanings, ontologies are essential for disambiguation. They act as an “Esperanto” for cyber communication — a shared foundation that bridges languages and domains.
Warren Weaver described it best: “Think of individuals living in tall towers… communication is difficult until they descend to a shared basement, where true connection becomes possible.”
Knowledge Base
Ontologies
in IntuView
Within IntuView, ontologies are part of a vast Knowledge Base (KB) that ensures depth, accuracy, and cultural sensitivity.
The Knowledge Base includes:
