In metaphysics ( in particular, ontology ), the different kinds or ways of being are called categories of being or simply categories.

A general purpose ontology would have to be applicable in any domain and different areas of knowledge need to be unified.

The commitment we make by selecting one or another ontology can produce a sharply different view of the task at hand.

Of course, such lists of categories differ widely from one another, and it is through the co-ordination of different categorical schemes that ontology relates to such fields as library science and artificial intelligence.

The term ontology has its origin in philosophy and has been applied in many different ways.

While the ontology of classical mechanics is part of the ontology of de Broglie – Bohm theory, the dynamics are very different.

(" Calculus of names " is sometimes used instead of ontology, a term widely employed in metaphysics in a very different sense.

In Aristotle's ontology, quantity or quantum was classified into two different types, which he characterized as follows:

Note that this notion of ontology is different from ( and weaker than ) ontology as is sometimes understood in philosophy ; in our sense there is no claim that the expressions actually denote anything which exists physically or spatio-temporally ( to use W. Quine's formulation ).

* Ontologies for different biological domains ( e. g., BRENDA tissue ontology, Gene Ontology )

The phenomenon is called Central Pacific ( CP ) El Niño, " dateline " El Niño ( because the anomaly arises near the dateline ), or El Niño " Modoki " ( Modoki is Japanese for " similar, but different ").

# Samudhaya: simultaneously with the experience of dukkha there arises tanha, thirst: the dissatisfaction with what is and the yearning that life should be different than it is.

In this translation, samudhaya means that the uneasiness that's inherent to life arises together with the craving that life's event would be different.

Further heterogeneity of ion channels arises when channels with different constitutive subunits give rise to a specific kind of current.

David Stromberg constructs a demand-driven model where media bias arises because different audiences have different effects on media profits.

Further, selection arises because different types of sequences tend to replicate at different rates, which leads to the suppression of sequences that replicate more slowly in favor of sequences that replicate faster.

Segregation may be maintained by means ranging from discrimination in hiring and in the rental and sale of housing to certain races to vigilante violence ( such as lynchings, e. g. ) Generally, a situation that arises when members of different races mutually prefer to associate and do business with members of their own race would usually be described as separation or de facto separation of the races rather than segregation.

Synergy usually arises when two persons with different complementary skills cooperate.

It is also sometimes held that when a semantic dispute arises, the focus of the debate should switch from the original thesis to the meaning of the terms of which there are different definitions ( understandings, concepts, etc.

This arises from the vagueness of user queries, of concepts represented by content providers, of matching query terms to provider terms and of trying to combine different knowledge bases with overlapping but subtly different concepts.

Homogeneous broadening arises from the interactions with phonons of the glass, while inhomogeneous broadening is caused by differences in the glass sites where different ions are hosted.

Such versatility arises from the ability of PLP to covalently bind the substrate, and then to act as an electrophilic catalyst, thereby stabilizing different types of carbanionic reaction intermediates.

This confusion arises because aerostat has two different meanings.

One of the principal differences between HTH motifs in these different proteins arises from the stereo-chemical requirement for glycine in the turn which is needed to avoid steric interference of the beta-carbon with the main chain: for cro and repressor proteins the glycine appears to be mandatory, while for many of the homeotic and other DNA-binding proteins the requirement is relaxed.

Another sort of parachronism arises when a work based on a particular era's state of knowledge is read within the context of a later era with a different state of knowledge.

The clinical underpinnings of two of the most common spasticity conditions, spastic diplegia and multiple sclerosis, can be described as follows: in spastic diplegia, the upper motor neuron lesion arises often as a result of neonatal asphyxia, while in conditions like multiple sclerosis, spasticity is thought by some to be as a result of the autoimmune destruction of the myelin sheaths around nerve endings — which in turn can mimic the gamma amino butyric acid deficiencies present in the damaged nerves of spastic diplegics, leading to roughly the same presentation of spasticity, but which clinically is fundamentally different from the latter.

The criteria that is stated by the National Register of Historic Places is said to be able to be, “ interpreted in different ways so that the significance … may be subjectively argued for many cultural resources .” Another issue that arises among scholars is that, “ protection does not necessarily mean preservation .” Any public projects occurring near the cultural resource can have adverse effects.

The accepted explanation for the OBE in the fields of cognitive science and psychology is that the OBE is a hallucinatory construct that arises from different psychological factors.

It is formed with the aid of potential vorticity, which is defined as the product of the isentropic density, i. e. the density that arises from using potential temperature as the vertical coordinate, and the absolute vorticity, given that this quantity attains quite different values for the troposphere and the stratosphere.

In The Act of Creation, Arthur Koestler introduced the concept of bisociation — that creativity arises as a result of the intersection of two quite different frames of reference.

Confusion arises because there is no accepted international nomenclature for the three different logical entities called " Fermi level ", and because in each of the main contexts in which one of these entities is used it is often just called " Fermi level ".

I quit work at my usual hour as if this day was no different from other days.

And if he is so scornful of the rights of states, why not advocate a different sort of constitution that he could more sincerely support??

It was compiled as a control sample to determine if the opinions and practices of companies on the lists submitted by the members of the Aerospace Industries Association were materially different from those of other small firms selling to defense programs.

Or should we argue that if we want adjustment of children to children of different races and that that is impossible in an all-something-or-the-other school, we must at least provide him some opportunity to adjust to people of another race within the school -- namely, to a teacher of another race.

" Alternate History " looks at " what if " scenarios from some of history's most pivotal turning points and presents a completely different version, sometimes based on science and fact, but often based on conjecture.

Non-traditional Calvinists and other evangelicals advocate the similar but different doctrine of eternal security that teaches if a person was once saved, his or her salvation can never be in jeopardy, even if the person completely apostatizes.

Importantly, the convention only comes into force if the aircraft takes off or lands in a place different than its country of registration.

The case of " beauty " is different from mere " agreeableness " because, " If he proclaims something to be beautiful, then he requires the same liking from others ; he then judges not just for himself but for everyone, and speaks of beauty as if it were a property of things.

Some operations may change the state of the ADT ; therefore, the order in which operations are evaluated is important, and the same operation on the same entities may have different effects if executed at different times — just like the instructions of a computer, or the commands and procedures of an imperative language.

It is questionable that the results would be different if cases were conducted under the differing approaches ; in fact no statistics exist that can show whether or not these systems would come to the same results.
