I think it's just a (not very elaborate) proposal, and probably not a good starting point, as its formalism seems to be pretty weak (despite the name "formal ontology"). A better choice, which is, of course, also just a proposal (as there is no de-facto standard in this area), is described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Formal_Ontology -Gerd --------------------------------------------- Gerd Wagner http://oxygen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/IT Email: G.Wagner@tu-cottbus.de
