This file stores a very small ontology of concept types and relations types related to road accident analysis. This ontology specialises our top-level ontology of concept types and relations types. If you have a Javascript-enabled Netscape browser, you might be able to use our (nice but brittle) hierarchy browser to visualize and navigate it.

You may save this file on your local disk ("File - Save As" command on Netscape) and
then modify this ontology for your needs.
