6 October 2011Ontological engineering versus metaphysics
It has been recognized that ontologies are a semantic version of world wide web and can be found in knowledge-based
systems. A recent time survey of this field also suggest that practical artificial intelligence systems may be motivated by
this research. Especially strong artificial intelligence as well as concept of homo computer can also benefit from their
use. The main objective of this contribution is to present and review already created ontologies and identify the main
advantages which derive such approach for knowledge management systems. We would like to present what ontological
engineering borrows from metaphysics and what a feedback it can provide to natural language processing, simulations
and modelling. The potential topics of further development from philosophical point of view is also underlined.
