SUO: a silly question about the new modular architecture




I must admit to being new at this ... but can I ask a silly question anyway
...

Let's say I don't like the way physical entities are defined in the ~new
proposed~ modular architecture and want to substitute my own definition, but
still want to use the rest of SUMO.  How do I do it?

For instance suppose I want to define a physical entity as something that
has *any* physical relation to some other entity.   Like:
[1]     (connectedVia Knee Thigh Leg)
[2]     (instance connectedVia physicalRelation)
... so based on this, there would be an axiom from which we could infer that
Knee, Thigh and Leg were physical entities.

Do I just substitute all the axioms on the node
http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/SKB.jsp?req=SC&skb=Merge-WordNet
&id=95
with my own, and then thread through all the other axioms that are in
libraries that I have chosen and replace the axioms that refer to the
constants defined on that node ?  Will SUO provide me with tools to help in
this process?
