Re: D1. Summary: Separate computer science ontology from philosophical ontology


Dear Avril,


The dictionary defines system as a group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole.

I add the word general so as not to restrict the vocabulary to any particular domain of systems.

The vocabulary includes a limited number of basic terms that are derived from the definition of system.

If one of the set of 500-page books expresses a Perfect Philosophical Ontology, then the terms used in that book are those of General Systems.
Care to debate?  --  D4. All postings to the Ontology list-server should be stated in the terms of general systems.
