Excellent- More about The Philosophy of Geo-Ontologies: Applied Ontology of Geography
Applied ontology of geography investigates the assumptions and commitments of geography as a discipline, the theoretical and technical needs of geographical/IT tools, and the mutual interactions among these disciplines. It provides an overview of spatial representation, boundaries, and geographical entities and proposes a geographical classification of geo-ontologies. The second edition of the book offers a broader analysis of the (philosophical) ontology of geography.

The field of applied ontology of geography, situated at the crossroads of philosophy, geography, and computer science, encompasses a wide range of inquiries. It delves into the explicit assumptions and commitments of geography as a discipline, as well as the theoretical and technical requirements of geographical/IT tools, such as GIS and geo-ontologies. This interdisciplinary domain serves as the focal point of this book, which aims to accomplish several objectives:
1. Providing a comprehensive overview of the interconnections among the disciplines encompassed within the applied ontology of geography.
2. Exploring key concepts such as spatial representation, boundaries, and geographical entities that form the core of the philosophical ontology of geography.
3. Proposing a geographical classification of geo-ontologies in response to their growing proliferation in contemporary discourse, while also demonstrating how ontological categories can effectively organize their contents.
In contrast to the first edition, the second edition of this book extends its analysis of the philosophical ontology of geography. It goes beyond the mere theoretical need for geo-ontologies and delves into a broader perspective. This expanded analysis offers a deeper understanding of the philosophical foundations and implications of geo-ontologies, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners alike.
By exploring these critical aspects, the book aims to contribute to the ongoing dialogue between philosophy, geography, and computer science. It provides a framework for understanding the complex relationships and interdependencies that exist within these fields, fostering a deeper appreciation of the role of geo-ontologies in advancing our understanding of the world. Whether you are a researcher, educator, or practitioner, this book offers valuable insights and perspectives that will enhance your understanding of the applied ontology of geography and its potential applications in various domains.
