User:Mutanabbi/History of ontologies From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Under construction icon-blue.svg This is not a Wikipedia article: It is an individual user's work in progress page, and may be incomplete and/or unreliable.

History of Ontologies new article content ... This page is devoted to an overview of the highest level ontologies in use in different cultures throughout history. It is thus related to but distinct from a number of existing Wikipedia pages or sections of pages, in particular those dealing with the history of metaphysical and religious ontologies[1][2], scientific taxonomies[3][4], knowledge representation in general[5], library classification systems[6][7], pedagogical systems and curricula[8][9] and folksonomies [10], among others. Relevant sources are thus heterogenous, ranging from metaphysical or religious works, to explicitly scientific attempts at classification, to practical systems for arranging reference works or organizing education, The point is to permit a synoptic overview of how a culture in one time and place organized the world around it, facilitating comparison with the perspective of other cultures. The ontologies to be referenced on this page need not have been intended to be entirely comprehensive, an intention that is often difficult to determine, but merely that they are extremely general. When the categorization is explicitly intended to be include everything in human experience it is hoped that contributors will draw attention to that fact. It is meant to include all attempts to distinguish the major categories of human experience and activity as well as natural phenomena.
