The short discussion we had about this was not directly related to the 
SenseLab ontologies. Addressing issues of post- vs. pre-coordination would 
need to take much more than just a short sentence and is probably beyond the 
scope of the document.

The difference between "Knowledgebase" and "Knowledge base" is mostly 
linguistic and not ontological. Since my native language is German, and 
German tends to be a synthetic language [1], I erroneously used the first 
option...

I added "[...] The detailed analysis of the experiences with the SenseLab 
ontologies and other complex biomedical ontologies may help drive the 
improvement of current ontology editors."
