Computational ontology may provide one means toward that\ngoal. This paper develops the ontology of the SSA domain and takes steps in the\ncreation of the space situational awareness ontology. Ontology objectives,\nrequirements and desiderata are outlined; and both the SSA domain and the\ndiscipline of ontology are described. The purposes of the ontology include:\nexploring the potential for ontology development and engineering to (i)\nrepresent SSA data, general domain knowledge, objects and relationships (ii)\nannotate and express the meaning of that data, and (iii) foster SSA\ndata-exchange and integration among SSA actors, orbital debris databases, space\nobject catalogs and other SSA data repositories. By improving SSA via data- and\nknowledge-sharing, we can (iv) expand our scientific knowledge of the space\nenvironment, (v) advance our capacity for planetary defense from near-Earth\nobjects, and (vi) ensure the future of safe space flight for generations to\ncome.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.01924v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.01924v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"preliminaries-of-a-space-situational","repo_url":"https://github.com/rrovetto/space-situational-awareness-domain-ontology","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
