Is there anything in Computational Semantics or Computational
Metaphysics that informs ontology?
Certainly, if the discussion remains within the purview of ontology
as links and containers, there is little to be said. However, the
"semantics" associated with "computational" and "metaphysics"
indicates that it, at the least, deserves an examination.
The primary work appears to be part of object modeling. My interest
arose as part of the examination of translation, in the sense of
promotion by type or property. I stumbled upon this work by Zalta,
who has published a number of papers:
Principia
Metaphysica (Draft)[136 pgs]
