Springer - Theory and Applications of Ontology (2 Volumes)

Explore the connection between philosophical inquiry and modern technology with Theory and Applications of Ontology. This two-volume anthology from Springer examines how the concept of ontology has evolved from a study of the structure of reality into a vital component of the information technology research industry. By analyzing the relationship between philosophical ontology and IT-based ontology, this collection addresses an important gap in current research. It provides a deep look at how the categorization of what exists applies to both abstract thought and digital information systems. This work is designed for those looking to understand the shared foundations between these two growing fields, making it a valuable resource for researchers and academics working at the intersection of philosophy and software design.
