Re: White Paper - "Using OWL to Avoid Syntactic Rigor Mortis"

It seems the white paper makes a remise that different users would follow the same OWL ontolgy, and they
are only allowed to use the different terminologies *predefined* in the ontology. How can you foresee all different kinds
of terminologies that could possibly be used?
The camera ontology used in the white paper is more like a "merged" ontology of two smaller, different but alignable ontologies,
certainly interoperability could be achieved here.
I think it's more compelling if you can show that people can freely use any terminologies they like, and an OWL ontology can be
defined to align those.
