RE: TR: SHOE, DAML : Conflicting definitions of "Thing" ?

Jim, Mike, Dan

Thanks for your explanations. It clarifies. What it means in the Topic Map
universe (that is where the ontologies will be used, actually) is that we
should use the URIs as "base names" (used for topic identification and
merging), and use "Thing" in both cases as a display name in user
interface.

Concerning the non-unique name assumption, we can live with that, given
that in the framework of MOSES, we'll have names for those "things" in
Italian and Danish anyway (no to mention French for my personal use).

More to come about it anyway. I would like to deliver ASAP proposals about
using OWL classes as Published Subjects ...
