Topic: *An Introduction to 4 Dimensionalism and ISO 15926* (010)
*Abstract*: (011)
In philosophy there are two main strands of ontology,
3 Dimensionalism, where physical objects pass through time, and
4 Dimensionalism, where physical objects are extended in time.
This talk will introduce the key concepts of a 4-Dimensional ontology and
some of the key consequences that follow from that.
The talk will give examples of how 4 Dimensionalism has been implemented in
the ISO 15926 ontology. (012)
