Reminds me, a reference I should pass on. At the f2f Alan mentioned a particular modeling problem - I forget what (sorry, maybe you will recognise) - it involved needing to distinguish between classes/individuals on a lot of different levels. Structurally it reminded me very much of FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) [1]. The terms in the RDF version [2] make a good summary. It allows you to talk about e.g. a book "Harry Potter and the Alarming Rash" the conceptual entity, as well as the editions in hardback, paperback etc, as well as this_specific_copy of "Harry Potter and the Alarming Rash" with a coffee stain on page 27. While FRBR itself is pretty much biblio-specific, the general pattern looks like it could well be reusable in other domains. Cheers, Danny.
