In philosophy, ontology (from the Greek ὄν, genitive ὄντος: of being (part. of εἶναι: to be) and -λογία: science, study, theory) is the study of being or existence. It seeks to describe or posit the basic categories and relationships of being or existence to define entities and types of entities within its framework. Ontology can be said to study conceptions of reality.

Some philosophers, notably of the Platonic school, contend that all nouns refer to entities. Other philosophers contend that some nouns do not name entities but provide a kind of shorthand way of referring to a collection (of either objects or events). In this latter view, mind, instead of referring to an entity, refers to a collection of mental events experienced by a person; society refers to a collection of persons with some shared characteristics, and geometry refers to a collection of a specific kind of intellectual activity.
Any ontology must give an account of which words refer to entities, which do not, why, and what categories result. When one applies this process to nouns such as electrons, energy, contract, happiness, time, truth, causality, and God, ontology becomes fundamental to many branches of philosophy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology

The use of 555 in cinema stems from an earlier derivation than supposed phone company promotions in the 1970's - having been used in many films from 1930s, or earlier, onwards. One unconfirmed explanation, which may or may not be an urban myth, relates to a supposed early branding deal between MGM and the cigarette company 555 over the use of the digits in movie telephone numbers: Reason why 555 numbers are used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_phone_numbers
