SEP entry on "Ontology and Information Systems" is a good start: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ontology-is/
If the preference is for books, I can recommend "Semantic web for the working ontologist: effective modeling for linked data, RDFS, and OWL". https://search.worldcat.org/title/1193030282
If the preference is for papers, two papers from Deborah McGuinness et al, from early 2000s are still my favorites:
- "Ontology development 101: A guide to creating your first ontology": https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&h...
- "Ontologies come of age": https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&h...

I knew the Mitchell and Webb duo from _The Peep Show_ and one day (long before the pandemic) I saw a comment on Slashdot about working from home linking to this sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk
Then I watched that show and learned about Numberwang.

I tried your site and here's what I'd do:
- Stop paying for ads immediately.
- Give away full access to other devs to get their opinion
- Dog food. When you run it on its own page, do the results make sense? I did and I believe some don't.
- PDF results are preferred for the devs? Show me a sample.
- What's the most appropriate format for results to feed to my LLM to improve my site? Is the answer PDF?
I'd do some of these and give it another 3 months and then decide.

> How, one should rightly ask, could a khrafstar like the snake possibly be associated with good fortune?
For a while a running joke in Persian Wikipedia community was to call software "bugs", _khrafstar_s.

Good that folks kept going and it's all documented here. Please fix the typography of this wonderful directory.

Github[1] page says it's intended to "feel" like Ghostty:
> A native macOS note-taking app that feels like Ghostty — GPU-accelerated, keyboard-first, monospace, zero-config.

Love it. No Infinite Cavapoo Theorem needed. Give Momo a week and she'll have DOOM running on her treat dispenser.

I've been using Kagi for the past few years, but I try to use a brand-agnostic language talking about web search; e.g. "I'm gonna search [the web] for it"; "Use your favorite search engine to look it up".

Jon Gjengset—among other things, the author of Rust for Rustaceans—works for this company and talks about them occasionally answering questions during his recurring Q&As; e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw88-0ofBs0&t=10616s
