Yes, there's a some missing references to add in. Actually I think I have two of the variants: N-Ary Relation & Ordering Relation. The other is on my list. I've reviewed some of the other material, which is pretty patchy, but will incorporate or link to those documents. > Might also want to reference the ontology design patterns portal [1] > which has some patterns relevant to the modelling section.

My preference was to kick things off with a site/book as we have done here. There might be some value in more structured discussion around particular patterns, e.g. on this list, which can then be distilled down into some useful advice. I remember some very useful experiments in this vein on xml-dev a number of years ago which I'm considering. For example new candidate patterns could be posted here for discussion. I'm also thinking about how to link discussions into the site to include in-line comments. In the meantime I'd encourage motivated folk to mail here, or add things to the ESW wiki. Historically though that wiki has been a bit of a dumping ground and is, IMHO messy and off-putting to people new to the subject. I think a little editorial layer is useful to help make this accessible for a wider audience. I'm sure others will disagree, but that's the wonder of open licensing :) Cheers, L. -- Leigh Dodds Programme Manager, Talis Platform Talis leigh.dodds@talis.com http://www.talis.com
