Re: [ontolog-forum] Computer science ontology vs. philosophical ontology

Simon,

Computer Science Ontology is the abstract representation of Philosophical Ontology and real word things  with a specific purpose ie to  develop systems and simulate behavior of real world things relevant to the system by modeling them.

In  computer science,  one can prove the existance of a thing by it's attributes ( what it consists of) ,  associations ( relation to other things)  and actions  ( what it does and behavior ) !    And there are real things and imaginary things.   

Philosophically, an ontology should do the same, prove the existence of something. 

Your understanding of philosophical ontology and of computer science cannot, then, be distinguished.
