An assertional box (... ABox) is a finite set of concept assertions and role assertions; an ABox is called simple if all concept descriptions occurring in concept assertions are concept names ... an ontology is a union of an assertional box and a terminological box, and elements that can occur in ontologies are also called axioms. 2, record 1, English, - assertional%20box

A [description logics(DL) ] ontology consists of two finite and mutually disjoint sets : a Tbox(or terminological box) which introduces the terminology and an Abox(or assertional box) which contains facts about particular objects in the application domain. 3, record 1, English, - assertional%20box

La modélisation des connaissances d'un domaine avec les [logiques de descriptions (LD)] se réalise en deux niveaux. Un niveau terminologique (TBox) décrit les connaissances générales d'un domaine comme les concepts et les rôles et un autre niveau factuel (ABox) représente une configuration précise comme la description des individus en les nommant et en montrant leur appartenance à des concepts ou à des rôles. 2, record 1, French, - niveau%20factuel

On distingue deux composants dans une base de connaissances en logique de description (LD), qui sont respectivement TBox et ABox. La TBox, ou niveau terminologique, contient les axiomes qui définissent les concepts du domaine, tandis que l'ABox, appelé également niveau factuel, spécifie les assertions qui apparaissent dans le domaine ou dans la description du monde réel. 3, record 1, French, - niveau%20factuel
