SNAP/SPAN in Basic Formal Ontology: An Aristotelian Suggestion

Original language description

Basic Formal Ontology (BFO), developed by Barry Smith and his colleagues, is a foundational ontology used in information science for the description of entities at the highest level of generality. One of the salient features of BFO is the division of entities into continuants of so-called SNAP (or snapshot) ontology and occurents of so-called SPAN (or spanning time) ontology. The division is motivated by an apparent impasse in the endurantist/perdurantist controversy in recent analytical metaphysics. Inthis paper, drawing on Aristotle, I suggest a realism-supporting modification of Smith's approach.
