You are (unlike in english) bound to use a term according to its
creator's definition.
What definition?
[Jim Hendler]
... we can figure out some way to "import" only the cyc#dog facts or
otherwise say when you use a URI from an ontology it only "commits"
to some localized stuff (perhaps only the exact subgraph you point
to)
What subgraph?
If someone can provide a natural definition of "the chunk of an
ontology implied by a reference to a subset of its nodes," then I will
listen to alternatives to the idea that you import ontologies as
wholes. Otherwise, as far as I can see, it's the only game in town.
