Re: [ontolog-forum] Distinction between ontology and semantics

Great background learning and you are a great teacher.

All 5 Patologs take one through successive development of logic as rediscovered in the West. I like the beginning of Western-Greek (often precise and original meanings assigned by Plato, Aristotle and some others).

What a wonderful progression to bring us to Cyc and other ontology foundations, my interest is in understanding how to learn more about predicates described by you and also reconcile attributes I learned in other philosophies. Also to learn of importance of Pierce, and others and relationship to languages.

Thanks again.

Ravi

Many terms overlap without being synonymous.

For a survey of the relationships, see the slides for a five-day
short course on "Patterns of Logic and Ontology":

    http://www.jfsowa.com/talks/patolog1.pdf

Slide 2 has the outline and URLs for the following four lectures.

Slide 4 has some very brief definitions of terms that are explained
in detail in the five lectures.
