The application of Ontologies in the description of biology has become widely spread. This paper presents an approach for the application of Ontology in the description of complex ecological categories as Plant Functional Types. The authors illustrate the application of two Ontology approaches of engineering usage of Unified Modelling Language and Semantic Web approach - usage of RDF/OWL schema languages. Both approaches are powerful enough to be used as tools for formal description and information dissemination of complex ecological categories. The conversion of both approaches in general is under development in the Object Management Group (OMG).
