The term 'ontology' has been used in many ways and across different communities. In thfollowing we will introduce ontologies as an explication of some shared vocabulary orconceptualization of a specific subject matter. The main problem with the use of a sharedvocabulary according to a specific conceptualization of the world is that muchinformation remains implicit. Ontologies have set out to overcome the problem ofimplicit and hidden knowledge by making the conceptualization of a domain (e.g.mathematics) explicit.Ontological engineering is thus an approach to achieve a conceptual rigor thatcharacterizes established academic disciplines, like geodesy. Many university coursesaddress more application oriented fields, like cadastral law, and spatial planning, and theymay benefit from the ontological engineering approach. The paper provides anintroduction to the field of ontological engineering by means of examples from thecadastral domain.</p
