[ontolog-forum] Dispositions and powers for applied ontologies?

["Obrst, Leo J." <lobrst@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dispositions and powers (from metaphysics) are sometimes used for scientific theories/ontologies. Does anyone actually use these analyses to develop applied ontologies? I see it used, e.g., in some analyses of quantum theory.

 

The only paper I know of on this topic is:

 

Arp, R. & Smith, B. (2008). Function, role, and disposition in basic formal ontology. In Proceedings of Bio-Ontologies Workshop (ISMB 2008) (pp. 45–48). Available from Nature Precedings at: http://hdl.handle.net/10101/npre.2008.1941.1.

 

Do you know of others?

 

Thanks,

Leo
