That is essentially what many people were talking about
in the mid 1980s: extend the Unix hierarchy to the entire
world. It was a great idea then, and it still is.
I received another offline note with which I agree:

If that is all that anyone claimed, I would be happy.
What bothers me is that some people kick around words
like "ontology" and "semantics" without having a clue
about the subject.
