Jeremy's new rendition is much better. However, the conflation with URIs is not. Every ontology needs "display names", for many reasons. We had ample support of this in the content interoperability use cases. And these "lexical representation" names are only the beginning, and apply in a limited (but very important context). Why not tie this in to the "tags" we already need? I.e., "true" metadata about objects. Leo "Peter F. Patel-Schneider" wrote: > > Unfortunately, I don't think that this does the trick.
