Re: A problem-oriented medical record OWL ontology

Thanks Bill - although I think you attribute too much to me here! I  
really haven't done much other than make some enquires about how one  
would represent content and content bearing entities within a realist  
ontological framework. As soon as I start working on this again I'll  
make contact with the OBI group, since this all falls within the  
realm of biomedical investigations, and should be represented in OBI.  
I think what Chimezie has done is entirely compatible

Cheers
Chris
