| Descriptive and Formal Ontology by Raul Corazzon: This site is primarily devoted to the
contemporary developments of ontology, with a secondary focus on its historical development. The site
builds on work from both philosophers and scientists working in Artificial Intelligence, database theory
and natural language processing, and presents contemporary developments in ontology in the philosophical
context. |
