Connor's Links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Descartes
(The wikipedia page on Rene Decartes, his page mentions dualism so you can look into that....7/10)
http://www.philosophy-religion.org/handouts/idealism.htm
(Just basically a sub-category of Idealism, Platonic idealism. Mostly talks about Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" and the guy who wrote this up just basically explains what Plato is getting at... 8/10.)
http://books.google.ca/books?hl=en&id=nDLO1QAVw98C&dq=Ontology&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=WZ16a1v24c&sig=UgWNn-IHH3idhbmGWrrVsV7Lcqk&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=7&ct=result#PPP1,M
(A small book on Ontology. Gives some basic examples. But as it is a book on google books, it is not a full book and 3/4 of the important pages are missing. It still gives some good information and if you could not get ahold of some ontology books like I could, well..its nice. 6/10.)
http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Philosophy-George-Berkeley-Philosopher.htm
(A great site for George Berkeley, a good idealist philosopher and also it has many internal links to other philosophers that relate to materialism, dualism and also other idealist philosophers....9/10.)
http://atheism.about.com/od/philosophyschoolssystems/p/materialism.htm
(A great introductory to materialism and it also talks about the sub categories of materialism. The best part about this site is how it lists philosophers who are materialists, making it easy for the user to learn more about materialism....10/10)

http://www.formalontology.it/history.htm --- this is the history of ontology! I thought it was a little hard to understand, but it had some decent points.
http://www.ditext.com/moore/refute.html -- this one is good for a few things.. even though he is bashing idealism
Meagan Christou has Links Too
Ontology
“A Resource Guide for Philosophers” It’s quite lengthy but has some great external links included for further reading. Straightforward, but there are some walls of text to plough through
“The Ontological Argument” shows all sides (or versions) of the argument. Not the easiest read in the world but filled with very valuable content if you can decipher it. Most definitely at University level.
Idealism
What it is, History, Philosophy and Idealists. Brief and straight to the point.
Seems valid, although no external references or links.
“German Idealism” has an interesting view point with some good information on Kant and other philosophers key to this genre. Well organized in paragraph format with headings.
Dualism
Very long but amazingly well explained. Many references and a few other external links for more reading.
“Dualism and Mind” has a good collection of the different sides of dualism. Lots to read and many references.
Materialism
Brief and easy to follow. However does not contain references.

these links are pretty basic. they are all pretty much overviews of ontology as a whole, non-specific and general. but overall pretty usefull

Thanks Ike, these should help..I'll get some up soon, for now I'm just getting a basic list of sites for the Ontology, along with idealism, materialism and dualism.
But if anyone needs some sources for dualism check out Rene Decartes on wiki or any other site. His chapter in Sophie's World could also help!

Pfft, there are more here than there are in the Philosophy of the Mind section. xD
Google and I are becoming close friends in my frantic search for more sources. I'm going to have like ten pages of notes ... it's ridiculous.
