re. pain vs pain I am reading some very interesting new approaches to this problem which you may also enjoy Look for example at the 'packaged ontology approach' http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~honavar/Papers/cts06.pdf 3.1. Packages as Ontology Organization Units In a package-based ontology, the whole ontology is composed of a set of packages. Terms (such as Dog, Animal) and axioms (such as Dog v Animal) are defined in specific home packages. I like that flexibility in the view of the world, it allows multiple simultaneous worlds and views to be possible. Lots of other interesting stuff in collaborative ontologies there also (Not sure where that leaves the axioms, but's thats a problem for some of us more than for others) Paola Di Maio ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tanja Sieber" <tanja.sieber@t-dos.de> To: "Xiaoshu Wang" <wangxiao@musc.edu>; "'Ian Emmons'" <iemmons@bbn.com>; <semantic-web@w3.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 2:40 PM Subject: AW: Axiom: Opacity of URIs > > Xiaoshu, > right.
