F.17 IDEAS – International Defence Enterprise Architecture Specification
F.17.1 Overview
The upper ontology developed by the IDEAS Group is higher-order, extensional and 4D. It was developed using the BORO Method. The IDEAS ontology is not intended for reasoning and inference purposes; its purpose is to be a precise model of business.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDEAS_Group
