  1. Formal ontology

    In philosophy, the term formal ontology is used to refer to an ontology defined by axioms in a formal language with the goal to provide an unbiased view on reality, which can help the modeler of domain- or application-specific ontologies to avoid possibly erroneous ontological assumptions encountered in modeling large-scale ontologies. By maintaining an independent view on reality a formal ontology gains the following properties: ⁕indefinite expandability:the ontology remains consistent with increasing content. ⁕content and context independence:any kind of 'concept' can find its place. ⁕accommodate different levels of granularity. Theories on how to conceptualize reality date back as far as Plato and Aristotle.
