Database of Terms

We are beginning to develop a comprehensive "database of all things" that help bridge from anywhere and everywhere into universal oneness and wholeness. It's very simple, and just getting started, and so far totally based on Wikipedia -- which we like because it's extremely comprehensive and well-documented -- plus, it's community-vetted ("peer-reviewed") and helps avoid bias. Links connect articles to other terms in the database found in the articles. For simplicity, terms are organized in the broadest categories we can come up with.

In information science, an upper ontology (also known as a top-level ontology or foundation ontology) is an ontology (in the sense used in information science) which describes very general concepts that are the same across all knowledge domains. An important function of an upper ontology is to support broad semantic interoperability among a large number of domain-specific ontologies which are accessible ranking "under" this upper ontology. As the rank metaphor suggests, it is usually a hierarchy of entities and associated rules (both theorems and regulations) that attempts to describe those general entities that do not belong to a specific problem domain. There have been many upper ontologies proposed, each with its own proponents. Each upper ontology can be considered as a computational implementation of natural philosophy, which itself is a more empirical method for investigating the topics within the philosophical discipline of physical ontology. Library classification systems predate upper ontology systems. Though library classifications organize and categorize knowledge using general concepts that are the same across all knowledge domains, neither system is a replacement for the other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_ontology 1.
