Ontologies order and interconnect knowledge of a certain field in formal semantic way so that they are machine-parsable. They try to define allwhere acceptable definition concepts objects, classify them, provide properties as well them with relations (e.g. "A is special case B"). More precisely, Tom Gruber defines "specification conceptualization; [...] description (like specification program) the relationships can exist for an agent or community agents." [1] An Ontology made Individuals which organized Classes. Both have Attributes Relations among themselves. Some complex Restrictions, Rules Events change attributes relations. To be computer accessible written ontology languages, like OBO language more used Common Algebraic Specification Language. With rising digitalized, interconnected globalized world, where common standards found, ontologies great interest. [2] Yet, development chemical beginning. Indeed, some interesting basic approaches towards but nevertheless suffer from two main flaws. Firstly, we found mostly only fragmentary completed still architecture state. Secondly, apparently no widespread accepted. Therefore, herein describe major ontology-developments related fields about analytical methods, name reactions scientific units.
