Abstract

Ontology and Knowledge Graph (KG) are two hotspot topics in Semantic Web and Artificial Intelligence (AI) fields. They have gained their importance due to the thriving development of the Internet in this century coupled with the explosive growth of data, which leads to increased demand for ontologies or KG to promote the Semantic Web and AI applications. Many researchers conflate ontology with KG, especially when even Wikipedia refers to both terms as synonymous; however, the difference is obvious. In this paper, we will highlight the differences between ontology and KG. Also, we have provided a redefinition for the ontology tuple and explained how the ontology is a foundation layer for KG.
