[Sigia-l] Question about the use of the term 'ontology'

[Groot, Boyd de]

* Alexander Johannesen
| 
| Ok, so since "ontology" can encompass pretty much anythig you want, 
| Topic Maps will fit into that. I agree. :) Hmm, 'ontology' doesn't 
| mean much without constraints really, does it? It all comes down to 
| how everybody defines the word and it what context they use it. Too 
| diluted for general chit-chat, I feel. :)


To underline Alexander's point further check out  
"The Ontological Proof for God" devised a couple of centuries ago

Is this thread a "Big IA" thing, or so? :-)

very
first premise and getting away with it :-)
