Ontology
A schema layer that defines entity types and the meaning of relationships in a knowledge graph, ensuring structural and semantic consistency as the graph scales and enabling agents to perform traversal-based reasoning along explicit relationships.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The current version of IQ MCP Server does not yet support ontologies and data agents; they each have their own independent MCP endpoints.
The ontology describes what exists and what can happen in a domain; the gate checks whether this instance is permitted, and the gate must be independent of the ontology.
Ontology originates from philosophy; in computer and knowledge engineering it refers to an explicit, formal specification of the concepts, attributes, and their relationships within a domain, with common forms including classes, properties, instances, and relationship constraints.
Semantic models answer aggregation-type questions (such as rankings and counts), while ontologies answer relationship-type questions (such as multi-hop relationship queries)
For simple document Q&A, vector retrieval with reliable citations may already be sufficient; building ontologies and knowledge graphs is more likely to pay off only when problems involve cross-system entities, multiple relationships, historical states, compliance rules, and accountability tracing.
Ontologies use standard languages such as OWL or RDFS to define types, properties, and constraints, serving as the schema layer of the knowledge graph.
Semantica connects the ontology to data ingestion, entity recognition, querying, reasoning, and validation, making it a business rules layer that agents pass through with every operation.
Ontologies use standardized languages (such as OWL and RDF) to describe semantics, defining the attributes of business entities, relationships between entities, and business rules and constraints.
