This project has been influenced and informed from many perspectives by many authors. This brief list of sources includes some under current consideration.

The "FRISCO Report" is a 200 page technical and philosophical review of issues and methods that arise in the context of a project that involves broad integration across disciplines and common professional protocols.
The Big Book of Concepts
Comprehensive introductory review of the theory of concepts, considers many of the sources listed here, presents down-to-earth highly intuitive model of conceptual structure.
Amazon Review: We've needed a book like this for the past decade. The Big Book of Concepts is beautifully done in so many ways and a true service to the field. Murphy's ambitious and integrated review is unusually thorough, thoughtful, and fair in its coverage of the diverse literatures on concepts. Graduate students will remember this volume the rest of their careers for what it taught them, and seasoned researchers will use it as the authoritative source to fill holes in their knowledge.

Clarifying survey of concept theory as it was emerging at that time. Provides clear insight into dimensionality of features, and comparison of various alternative interpretations and models of concepts. A landmark paradigm for concept theorists, still very helpful.

What is the mind?' is a question that has intrigued people from the earliest times - indeed, for as long as man has considered the possibility of mind at all. It is the first truly philosophical question which comes with the dawning of self-consciousness. Yet it stumbles on a vexing question: How can that which knows, know itself? Each representation of the known which lacks the knower is necessarily incomplete.

Beyond Concepts: Ontology as Reality Representation
Abstract. There is an assumption commonly embraced by ontological engineers, an assumption which has its roots in the discipline of knowledge representation, to the effect that it is concepts which form the subject-matter of ontology. The term ‘concept’ is hereby rarely precisely defined, and the intended role of concepts within ontology is itself subject to a variety of conflicting (and sometimes intrinsically incoherent) interpretations. It seems, however, to be widely accepted that concepts are in some sense the products of human cognition.

The present essay is devoted to the application of ontology in support of research in the natural sciences. It defends the thesis that ontologies developed for such purposes should be understood as having as their subject matter, not concepts, but rather the universals and particulars which exist in reality and are captured in scientific laws. We outline the benefits of a view along these lines by showing how it yields rigorous formal definitions of the foundational relations used in many influential ontologies, illustrating our results by reference to examples drawn from the domain of the life sciences.

The Tree of Knowledge
"Knowing how we know" is the subject of this book. Its authors present a new view of cognition that has important social and ethical implications, for, they assert, the only world we humans can have is the one we create together through the actions of our coexistence.
