Deborah, Thanks for your support and the helpful link. I agree that it is important to distinguish OEP and SE task forces. I believe the distinction should be clear as OEP is more about engineering and patterns of ontologies, while SE is more about the use of ontologies in software architecture and lifecycles. In general, results from OEP can be useful inputs to SE. Greetings, Jeff -- Jeff Z.
