Generic Software Engineering Ontology

Generic Software Engineering Ontology represents all software engineering concepts, their relationships, and their constraints. It is an abstract level of representation without ontology instances.  

Specific Software Engineering Ontology

Specific Software Engineering Ontology represents specific instances for the corresponding software engineering concepts. These instances contain actual project  data / information / agreement. The Specific Ontology contains the set of actual data or instances of the concepts and assertions that the instances are related to each other according to the specific relations in the concepts.
