Introduction -- Part I. The Ontological Background -- Ontologies in Computer Science: a brief overview -- From the Ontological Turn to the Ontology of Geography -- Common Sense Conceptualizations and Systems of Objects -- Part II. Geographical Entities, Boundaries and Spatial Representation -- Experiments and Results -- From a Speculative Perspective: Geographic Entities and Boundaries -- On Drawing (Different) Lines on a Map -- On the Ontological Status of Geographical Boundaries -- Spatial Representation and Ontological Tools -- Part III. From a Geographical Perspective: Spatial Turn, Taxonomies and Geo-Ontologies -- From the Spatial Turn to the Diffusion of Geo-ontologies -- The Problems of Existing Taxonomies -- A Geo-ontological Tri-Partition -- PART IV. Geo-ontologies, Digital Humanities and Ancient World -- Towards a Geo-ontology for the Ancient World -- Geography in Greek and Roman Culture -- Conclusion.

Placed at the intersection among philosophy, geography, and computer science, the domain of investigation of applied ontology of geography ranges from making explicit assumptions and commitments of geography as a discipline, to the theoretical and technical needs of geographical/IT tools, such as GIS and geo-ontologies. Such a domain of investigation represents the central topic of discussion of this book, which intends: 1) to provide an overview of the mutual interactions among the disciplines encompassed in the domain; 2) to discuss notions such as spatial representation, boundaries, and geographical entities that constitute the main focus of the (philosophical) ontology of geography; 3) to propose a geographical classification of geo-ontologies in response to their increasing diffusion within the contemporary debate, as well as to show what ontological categories best systematize their contents. The second edition of the book differs from the first one as it offers a broader analysis of the (philosophical) ontology of geography: an analysis that is no more limited to the theoretical need of geo-ontologies.
