General Formal Ontology - Taxonomic Tree of GFO

Taxonomic Tree of GFO

GFO (General Formal ontology) draws a fundamental distinction between concrete entities, categories and sets. Sets are described by an axiomatic fragment of set theory of Zermelo-Fraenkel, although fragments of anti-foundation axiom set theories such as ZF-AFA are considered.

Concrete entities are entities which are in time and space, while categories have universal character.

Famous quotes containing the word tree:

    I said I had the tree. It wasn’t true.
    The opposite was true. The tree had me.
    The minute it was left with me alone,
    It caught me up as if I were the fish
    And it the fishpole.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
