Yes. I don't really believe in a standard ontology (woops ... sorry for the
heresy). But at the same time I want an ontology that I don't have to
construct myself. I like to pick and choose. I believe that the most
useful SUMO would have a front end tool where the ~user~ answers a set of
questions and clicks on a set of contexts .. the tool would then generate
the needed ontology. Then where certain axioms were still unacceptable, one
could replace them individually ... the tool would then thread through the
selected knowledge and delete any contradictions and suggest where new
axioms were needed.
... hey I don't want a lot .. do I ?
