Re: SSN -- publishing dolce alignment separately

Keep in mind that the work original known as DUL has moved in other 
directions (namely patterns). To the best of my recollection, DUL has 
not been maintained since 2010 or 2011 and there is (to the best of my 
knowledge) no governance structure in place. This broke the original SSN 
at some point (the URL went offline). If we want to have an official DUL 
alignment in whatever form, we should make sure we understand the issues 
and ontological commitments that come with it. What are the advantages 
of having a DUL alignment in the SSN domain?

Best,
Krzysztof

P.s. Btw, since about 3-4 weeks, we started to go in circles and revisit 
issues we discussed in March.
