Description of the Core Vocabulary
The Core Vocabulary is the root for the ontology. As mentioned above,
the EAOntology is mainly developed to embrace the concepts defined in several approaches to ethical assessments.
Even though they bare similarities, each approach may provide a different viewpoint to the assessment of emerging technologies, what translates into a differing structuring of concepts and relations in the ontology. However, the Core Vocabulary aims at capturing the main concepts involved in any Ethical Assessment.
