Ontologies

Make the system transparent to your analysis

In information science, ontologies formally represent knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain, and the relationships between those concepts.   Stated simply, ontologies basically describe the architecture of what you know.   One of the unique capabilities of Quantum4D is that it allows you to leverage these in your analysis of systems.   Whether market maker positions or supply chains, different systems have different frameworks that can be leveraged in both statistical and visual modeling.   

Show the structure of your world
Ontologies are built up from entitiesrelationstaxonomies, and attributes on these.   The best ontologies are 'transparent.'  Meaning that you shouldn't be thinking about them or even aware of them when you use them.  We suggest you don't worrry about ontologies at first.  As you explore Quantum4D spaces you'll start to want to add your own structure.   The basic concepts should then seem familiar and natural.
