I think I get you and I like this way of discussion. Maybe there is a new
semantics that is emerging moving beyond the original idea of ontologies,
what with NoSQL and tangential efforts to represent meaning as favourites of

Kraftwork are the subject of a BBC radio program. They feel flattered that
they were know as Crout Rock, pointing out that none of them, I think, were
actually German, all the funnier. How to represent that! And when all is
said and done how to capture just how seminal and great they were?
