NO.
Comment. The document is inappropriate as a foundation because it
does not provide any clear methodology for determining which of the
many available options to choose during the construction of an upper
ontology. Also, in my (personal) view, it is much too mathematically
oriented to be suitable as a useable upper ontological framework.
