| An ontology captures selected semantic commitments for a defined domain. Ontological semantics explains what those commitments mean and how they shape interpretation across models, vocabularies, schemas, graphs, rules, reports, and implementation artifacts. | An ontology captures selected semantic commitments for a defined domain.

| Ontological semantics differs from [[dido:05-semantics:01-kinds-of-semantics:01-conceptual-semantics]]. Conceptual semantics establishes domain meaning before the selection of implementation technology. Ontological semantics expresses selected domain meaning through an ontology structure. | Ontological semantics differs from [[public:05-semantics:01-kinds-of-semantics:01-conceptual-semantics]].

| Ontological semantics also differs from [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:owl|OWL]] semantics. OWL provides an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:ontology_language|ontology language]] for the Semantic Web. Ontological semantics concerns the domain commitments expressed by an ontology, whether the ontology appears as a conceptual ontology, a logical ontology, an OWL ontology, a controlled model, or another governed ontology artifact. | Ontological semantics also differs from [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:owl|OWL]] semantics.
