Classification, categorization, taxonomy and ontologies are different related alternatives in knowledge representation, and all could be subsumed by generic term of conceptual model. In my view we should NOT give distinct support for classification schemes and ontology- that would be very confusion and unnecessary. I suggest we continue to talk about conceptual model with ontology representation as the key approach, and say that degenerative form of this can be a classification scheme. Here is one of many write ups we can find on this topic: http://vanrees.org/research/papers/2003_cib.pdf Some assorted links are at: http://www.elearnspace.org/doing/classification_ontologies_taxonomy.htm Amit
