A Cardinal worry for Permissive Metaontology
Permissivist metaontology proposes answering customary existence questions in the affirmative. Many of the existence questions addressed by ontologists concern the existence of theoretical entities which admit precise formal specification. This causes trouble for the permissivist, since individually consistent formal theories can make pairwise inconsistent demands on the cardinality of the univ...
متن کاملA metaontology for applied ontology
The paper defines a schema in which to describe the cornucopia applied ontologies. In contradistinction to the main trend in engineering meta-ontology the main ideas that support this schema are inspired by philosophy. Namely, we look at the domain of applied ontologies from the point of view of a certain metaphilosophical tradition. In a nutshell, we identify an applied ontology by means of (i...
متن کاملA Metaontology for Ontological Engineering: A Philosophers' Perspective
The paper defines a schema in which to describe applied ontologies of any kind. In contradistinction to the main trend in engineering metaontology the main ideas that support this schema are inspired by philosophy. Namely, we look at the domain of applied ontologies from the point of view of a certain metaphilosophical tradition. Nevertheless, the final result of our considerations is an engine...

Central role to this development has been played by ontologies, as these enable the representation of real world domains in an explicit and formal way and, thus, the production of commonly understood and shareable semantic data. N...
