The paper aims to characterise the proper subject matter of ontology by drawing the boundary line between ontological and non-ontological categories. The account of ontological categories I sketch here defines them as equivalence classes of a certain family of equivalence relations that are determined by ontological relations. As a result, the demarcation problem for ontological categories turns out to be dependent on the demarcation problem for ontological relations.
