RE: SUO: Re: Standard Upper Ontology Procedures -- Post Script
Dear John, Jim, and Jon,
I also support the idea of having web pages (actually
folders) under the editorial control of any SUO member
who asked for the facility. These can be easily linked
to from e-mails, and facilitate the development of
ideas, rather than clogging the e-mail lists.
However, for this to be successful Jon must buy in to
the concept, so I would be interested in how he saw
himself using this if it were available.
