While knowledge graphs emerge as the jack of all trades among agents dealing with language, knowledge, and orchestration, there is little consensus on the sources and roles of ontologies, in other words, knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book introduces \u003ci\u003eontological prisms\u003c\/i\u003e, a game-changing paradigm that unfolds the geometry of knowledge into a triptych of observed worlds (facts), meanings (concepts), and shared representations (categories). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach entails three major breakthroughs with regard to: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteroperability: by establishing a principled and actionable distinction between communication (language) and representation (knowledge), \u003ci\u003eontological prisms\u003c\/i\u003e provide a blueprint for semantic and conceptual layers set across heterogeneous representations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstraction levels: leveraging its three-pronged paradigm, \u003ci\u003eontological prisms\u003c\/i\u003e untangle the abstraction conundrum between upper (or foundational) and lower (or domain-specific) level ontologies.
