Volume 239: Formal Ontology in Information Systems
Abstract

We are developing an ontology of microsocial concepts for use in an instructional system for teaching cross-cultural communication. We report here on that part of the ontology relating to interpersonal relationships. We first explicate the key concepts of commitment, shared plans, and good will. Then in terms of these we present a formal account of simple exchanges, the host-guest relationship, and friendship.
