ABSTRACT
The ontological relationships are defined by STK Tools. They have basic default attributes. These attributes may be customized within the tools or by adding additional data providers to refine the details prior to calculating the output. Here, we use the formal ontological study of STK to understand how the attributes of object-oriented STK Objects, Tools, and Outputs are all dynamically interactive. As the relationship, or the ontology, among the tools and objects is defined, the STK computational engine analyzes these relationships. The engine reads the algorithms and creates the output in the format the user defines as maps, pictures, or graphs. The data providers allow the user to select what is represented and how.
