The primary and essential scope of this paper is the attempt of a closer approach, to the exact definition of the term ‘Culture’. The innermost hue of such a definition is indeed ontological. However there are also supplementary perspectives regarding this definition (e.g. engineering ones). The paper introduces the criteria for the construction of a strict and exact definition of Culture, using the aforementioned perspectives. Equivalently, it reveals the individual factors of the definition. Thus a relative ontology, regarding the field of Culture, is launched. The achievement of a strict definition has obviously beneficial impact on all the aspects of Culture and Cultural Heritage. Finally, the Culture’s Definition Diagram is introduced. The benefits of this diagram are multiple, as for instance the iconic representation of the definition, as well as its usefulness for computing purposes.
