more general stuff, just to push down Ontology's alternate meaning
[[Computer science]], an '''ontology''' refers to a [[data structure]] that [[modeling|models]] a given [[domain]] or [[conceptual space]].
A '''data structure''' is a way to organize information on a computer, such as the [[queue]], [[stack]], [[linked list]], [[heap]], [[dictionary]], and [[tree]]. [[Computer science]] courses teach students how to create and use such structures. [[Software engineering]] typically dismiss the coding that supports these structures and concentrates on how to use them.
