I like Ontologies, Taxonomies and Folksonomies. I'm currently reading Wikinomics, I bought Blink at the same time. Wikinomics is is quite interesting, and it is filling me with lots of ideas. It's also gotten me back on the Ontology and Semantic Web path. Related to that I was reading an article I found with Technorati on Identity Blog about privacy and was confronted with Human Ontogenesis. (Read the article, or wait until I reference it again and then read it.)
Ontogenesis - - The process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level.
Ontology - - The branch of metaphysics that deals with the nature of being; a systematic account of existence.
- A rigorous and exhaustive organization of some knowledge domain that is usually hierarchical and contains all the relevant entities and their relations.
