John,
I thought I explained that. I wanted to have a real example
for each of us to hang our sundry bits of jargon on, perhaps
to augment and elaborate as need be, so that I can know what
Jim and Matthew, and whoever else wants to discuss the issue,
means by "axioms", "constraints", "databases, "data models",
"definitions", "implications", "inferences", "instances",
"logic", "models", "ontologies", "relations", "rules",
"semantics", "taxonomy", "thesaurus", "types", etc.
And no, it's not obvious that very many of us
have been speaking the same language all this
time. It's a 18 K dataset, not a big dump in
SUO terms, not if it can buy a bit of clarity.
