I've had some difficulties understanding the term ontology when I first heard about it, but now it starts to make sense.
Btw, tropes.fyi/vetter says the article is sus. Perhaps LLM
written. But I see no disclaimer.
- panda888888 5mo agoThe concept of an ontology is really simple: thing - relationship - thing. Example: peanut butter - goes well with - jelly. This is in contract to a taxonomy, which is hierarchical: (upper-level category): Sandwiches (sub-type): peanut butter & jelly (sub-type): grilled cheese (sub-type): BLT (upper-level category): Soups (sub-type): tomato (sub-type): chicken noodle Taxonomies are kinda boring because they're just hierarchical lists. Ontologies are cool; the relationships are usually the important thing.
