Nicola,
I agree with you. Your guidance sounds consistent with Jim's.
A discussion about how to define a concept, one name for which is
"Individual", fits in the current standard-upper-ontology@ieee.org
<mailto:standard-upper-ontology@ieee.org> .
Your bullets below do describe topics best covered on ontology@ieee.org
<mailto:ontology@ieee.org> .
Discussions about how to add the term ("Individual",noun) to a controlled
English lexicon belong on suo-ce@ieee.org <mailto:suo-ce@ieee.org> .
Discussions about (to give a somewhat fanciful example) whether referring to
Individuals requires KIF to quantify over expressions that dynamically
describe and Individual's parent classes and how the KIF language must be
altered to support that feature, belongs on the suo-kif@ieee.org
<mailto:suo-kif@ieee.org> list.
