Ontology is the theory of objects and their ties. The unfolding of ontology provides criteria for distinguishing various types of objects (concrete and abstract, existent and non-existent, real and ideal, independent and dependent) and their ties (relations, dependences and predication).
This site is primarily devoted to ontology's contemporary developments, with a secondary focus on its historical development.
Contemporary ontology is developed from both philosophers and scientists working in Artificial Intelligence, data-bases theory and natural language processing. We may therefore distinguish ontology as conceptual analysis from ontology as technology. Descriptive and formal Ontology will present contemporary developments in ontology in both the philosophical and the technological contexts.
The "Table of Formal and Descriptive Ontologists" traces the main intellectual links from the major ontologists of the 19th Century (Bernard Bolzano, Franz Brentano, and Gottlob Frege) to contemporary thinkers.
Detailed information (bibliographies, abstract of relevant publications, and links to other resources available on the Net) for all the thinkers mentioned in the table will be added soon; less informative links will be soon improved and substituted by new pages.
Subsequent sections contain papers from leading contemporary ontologists, definition of ontology from classical and contemporary authors, a list of top problems and detailed analysis of a number of demanding ontological problems.
