 | | A second, related role is in knowledge acquisition, where teams have to work together and an ontology becomes a common, agreed-upon understanding of the terms in a domain, which can be read by team members with different background knowledge [Gruber, 1994]. |
 | | Of course, one may assume as in perception that both ``processes'' may occur in order to extend our knowledge about worlds in a kind of bootstrapping, but the process of knowledge acquisition for building systems relies on existing knowledge and is not aimed at creating new knowledge (it may be a side-effect). |
