hello. I'm new to the namespace of "ontology". but I like what a first-pass with "Protege" seems to have implied about it. ( placing data into definite nodes along some tree-like structures. cross-referencing. keeping some track on the mass of information in this world. "private class Theory extends Idea implements ScientificMethod" [... or something like that ... seemed a more appropriate analogy than the "camshaft" and "driveline" ones ("...extends Axle implements RadialMotion...")]) I'm wondering, then, how folks might say that Ontology comes into-usage in "the workplace" ( boiler-room, cafeteria-line, hospital, research-institute, or otherwise ). and is it a definite & seperate discipline? (guessing there mightn't be many options for a college-degree in Ontology. or am I mistaken, about that? also, either way, it seems like a "Masters Degree" in Ontology might return a blank stare from some potential employers. is there anything to address, about this? ) ( may be looking for something of a definite intro to Ontology, here. and probably some materiel for a web-page, or a set thereof. with proper credit given about information-sources, 'course.) if you can cc: or bcc: any replies to s-champ@pacbell.net ...that would be appreciated. any tips on other mailing-lists and/or newsgroups and/or web-sites, to query about Ontology, should also be appreciated. thank you. -- Sean Champ
