....2. 1 Elicited Ontologies The focus of our ontological work has been on what Smith has called elicited ontologies (Peuquet et al. 1999) which is to say: theories about given object domains designed to model how these domains are conceptualized by given individuals or cultures (Egenhofer and Mark 1995a, Smith and Mark 1999) This study of elicited ontologies is distinct from epistemology: it focuses not on knowledge and belief in general but rather on the ontological content of certain domain specific representations. It draws to some degree on the work of Quine (1953) who showed how we can ....

....out in Smith 1995, Smith and Varzi (in press) Casati et al. 1998, Casati and Varzi 1994, 1996. Here we concentrate on ontological issues pertaining to geographic objects; our work thus parallels the studies of spatial relations set out in Mark and Egenhofer 1994, 1994a, 1995; and Egenhofer and Mark 1995. 2.3 Categorial vs. Accidental Predications Because geographic objects are (paradigmatically) immovable, it follows that they are not merely located in space, they are tied intrinsically to space in such a way that they inherit from space many of its structural (mereological, topological, ....
