1/ Welcome back #medlibs, #critlib, #critcat, and other folks for part 2 of my what's new for #2023MeSH thread. ICYMI, the original thread:
2/ As I noted in the previous #2023MeSH thread, there's a lot of new terms under Population Groups, which is why this is getting its own thread.
3/ Before I get into #2023MeSH though, I think it's important to provide some context on why there are so many new terms and changes. I'm going to cover a brief timeline. Apologies in advance, because I may have missed or overlooked people and events along the way.

Will a single day go by when I don't think about my essay on Ontology?
So Ontology is the philosophy of how we organize information. Our solution to the organisation, essentially, is one that always involves ontology.
If you sort something, in some way, that is ontology. Even if you don't sort it at all. If you just let things randomly pile up, that is still a system, just a very poor one for finding something again.
