<div style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:arial, sans-serif;">Definitions of terms in ontologies serve a number of purposes. Logical definitions allow reasoners to assist in the process of classification and to verify the results, thereby lessening the development burden. Natural language definitions help ameliorate low inter-annotator agreement. Good definitions make it possible for non-experts and experts in adjacent disciplines to understand unfamiliar terms, thereby making it possible for them to reuse terms in external ontologies. In this way definitions can help to facilitate integration of data.</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><br></div>
