摘要：I attempt to demonstrate that the concept of institutional fit and the closely related approach of institutionaldiagnosis can be improved with the process of formalization. In this context, the concept of fit is interpreted as a way of expressingcertain theoretical propositions that relate a set of variables with each other and with an outcome. This perspective is demonstratedthrough the use of the Web Ontology Language to express several "theories of fit." Using a formal language to describe typesof fit and their associated theories is argued to have much potential for advancing the scientific study of social-ecological systems
