Acronym	METAMESH
Visibility	Summary Only
Description	The Meta Mesh Ontology (MMO) is a universal framework designed to integrate diverse knowledge bases across all domains of inquiry. It provides a coherent, philosophically grounded foundation that enables the unification of medical, psychological, social, technological, ecological, and cultural knowledge systems. While developed and applied initially in the context of psychiatry and interoperability (e.g., smart cities, robotics, clinical research), the MMO is structured to encompass and interlink every form of knowledge into a single, coherent, and interoperable framework., The Meta Mesh Ontology (MMO) is a universal framework designed to integrate diverse knowledge bases across all domains of inquiry.
