I will start to study philosophy very soon, i have already submerged myself in the subject and created my own ontology, about which i currently write a book. The Problem that i now worry about is how to reconcile my ontological desire for a holistic assimilation of the ideas that i encounter with the task of simple representation, i fear that if somebody asks me about a problem in another philosophers system i won't be able to look at said philosopher outside of the ontological context that i analyze him from. How do i handle developing my system further while also meeting the universities requirements?

too bad lad, if you can't see the essence of things and nothings you are not even ready for garbage collection

All you need is Plato. Ontology has not developed since Plato (aside from minor restatements within the Platonic school) and what passes for ontology since is adolescent contrarianism hopelessly mirred in the nominalist fallacy and unable to acknowledge or grapple with the metaphysics of forms.

I think that to a large part you are right, i personally also include plato and plotin in my book, but i think that Heidegger for example has also quite some insights. I dont try to declare all philosophers as wrong, surely not plato, my goal is to create an overarching system that can bring different conceptions together

I think you've answered your own question. Start with Platonic Ontology as your systematic framework/whole, then add in as parts the few insights non-Platonists have made.

Proclus, Dionysus, and Eriugena are other strong contributers to Platonic Ontology.

To be is to be the value of a bounded variable.

I would look at medieval debates. if you're interested in modern Platonism take a look at this
