Re: Ontology Working Group Proposal Draft

Dear All,

Unfortunately I couldn’t make it to the meeting, and therefore also miss 
the spirit in which the draft has been written. On the other hand, 
without this context my suggestions and questions can be interpreted as 
how somebody else may read the text and can help clarifying intentions. 
The text is appended at the end of the draft document after the table, 
as they combine several points that don’t link up well with the Word 
comment option.

Best regards,
marijke
