The enterprise ontology page is HTML and describes availability as "The formal Ontolingua encoding of the Enterprise Ontology is held in the Library of Ontologies maintained by Stanford University's Knowledge Systems Lab (KSL)." http://www-ksl-svc.stanford.edu:5915/FRAME-EDITOR/UID-15908&sid=ANONYMOUS&user-id=ALIEN "Last modified: Monday, 31 May 2010" sounds fresher than I expected. There's LISP here: http://www-ksl-svc.stanford.edu:5915/FRAME-EDITOR/UID-15901&sid=ANONYMOUS&user-id=ALIEN#ENTERPRISE-ONTOLOGY I guess there must be an OWL conversion tool around somewhere. I've copied Mike Uschold who may have more to say on this... cheers, Dan
