what is "ontology " ?

[Avengium]

I think we can make an article for the general definition of Ontology in OA . and move the paragraph:

An Ontology is a wide-ranging software protocol which forms the basic foundation for existence in a civilisation dominated by software entities. (From the Greek on, genitive ontos: of being, and logia: science). All software entities have a complex ontological basis, as do the interactions between such entities and biological beings.

From Second Fed to the general article.
If people agree on this, i want to begin with a draft for that article.
