标题： Towards an ontology of portions of matter to support multi-scale analysis and provenance tracking

摘要： 本文提出了一个物质部分的本体，其在科学和工业领域具有实际应用意义。 该本体是在统一基础本体（UFO）下开发的，UFO使用数量的概念来表示拓扑上最大自连接的物质部分。 所提出的本体引入了granuleOf部分关系，该关系存在于对象和物质部分之间。 它还讨论了由粒度集合构成的数量，物质部分的子部分的表示，以及使用历史关系在数量之间跟踪物质来源。 最后，通过一个案例研究展示了物质部分本体在地质学领域用于石油和天然气行业应用的情况。 在案例研究中，我们建模了如何表示原始岩石部分与工业过程中产生的子部分之间的历史关系。 最后，概述了未来的研究方向，包括研究粒度级别和定义事件的分类法。 显示英文摘要

摘要： This paper presents an ontology of portions of matter with practical implications across scientific and industrial domains. The ontology is developed under the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO), which uses the concept of quantity to represent topologically maximally self-connected portions of matter. The proposed ontology introduces the granuleOf parthood relation, holding between objects and portions of matter. It also discusses the constitution of quantities by collections of granules, the representation of sub-portions of matter, and the tracking of matter provenance between quantities using historical relations. Lastly, a case study is presented to demonstrate the use of the portion of matter ontology in the geology domain for an Oil & Gas industry application. In the case study, we model how to represent the historical relation between an original portion of rock and the sub-portions created during the industrial process. Lastly, future research directions are outlined, including investigating granularity levels and defining a taxonomy of events.
