Expressivity, together with a strong focus on DL reasoning is certainly one major distinctive criterion when comparing NTDO with OBO ontologies or the ontologies developed by Topalis et al. (2011) which represent a similar domain with a much higher coverage, but less expressive axiomatic content, with semantic annotation being their predominating raison d'être.

The proposed approach introduces the integration of the independent analysis that is based on axiomatic design, with the robust analysis that is based on the traditional robust technique.
This paper is the first to develop the fuzzy axiomatic design with risk factors (RFAD) approach and to use it in multi attribute comparisons of medical imaging systems in a university hospital.
For Saudis, as for other Arabs, it is all but axiomatic that, with one of their states about to be invaded, occupied, or even - as some see it - "colonised" in 19th-century style, they have sunk to one of the lowest points in their history.
So called asymptotic/axiomatic approach is employed to establish the effectiveness of each displacements terms for a given problems: that is the initial axiomatic expansion with all the terms related to the assigned order N is asymptotically reduced to a 'best' displacement models which has the same accuracy of the full model but with less terms.
From the perspective of formal logic, Pearl's book offers the most comprehensive analysis, via an axiomatic comparison with Lewis's hierarchy of conditionals.
