To me “upper ontologies” are situated between ‘Top level ontologies’ and ‘Domain ontologies’. An example for an upper level ontology is BioTop or ChemTop. These capture the Biodomain top level and Chemestry top level respectively.
For the upper level ontology BioTop there exist bridges to multiple top level ontologies.
The word ‘upper’ is a relative statement, whereas ‘top’ is absolute. I would really do the differrentiation between Top-level and upper-level ontologies.
bye, Daniel.
