This page discusses the fundamental structure of the wiki, in its current design, and hopefully receives updates as the structure is added on to, while retaining historical motivations at ready textual reference.
In metaphysics, ontology is the philosophical study of being. It investigates what types of entities exist, how they are grouped into categories, and how they are related to one another on the most fundamental level (and whether there even is a fundamental level).
The compound word ontology ('study of being') combines:
- onto- (Greek: ὄν, on;[note 1] gen. ὄντος, ontos, 'being' or 'that which is') and
- -logia (-λογία, 'logical discourse').
