Hi Rob,<br>
<br>
thank you for the input.<br>
<br>
a few responses to some of your questions and suggestions:<br>
<br>
There is indeed an inconsistency in representation, and we're aware
of that. Some time earlier in the year, we decided on a format among
several options (see [1]), but also that, in the interest of time,
we would first try to fill it with content first and only if time
permitted before ISAO'18, to fix the formatting of those entries
that predated the formatting decision. We ran out of time, so
harmonising the formatting of the earlier entries is still on the
to-do list. That said, when one adds something now, it would be good
to use that formatting style already.<br>
<br>
On another note, I don't think that copying-and-pasting definitions
from a plain dictionary is useful. they're more colloquial and the
simplification may not be right and there are multiple dictionaries
with different definitions. e.g., why mirriam webster but not, say,
the oxford dictionary?<br>
<br>
you do raise a point on scope. I think it is Applied Ontology. This
also means that listing reference models is not the way to go: there
are several ontology repositories that do a good job at that, and I
don't think we should replicate that (in casu, I removed CIDOC from
the term list).<br>
<br>
Some terms are informally used interchangeably in the literature
(even if they may not be so upon closer inspection by one
philosopher or ontologist), and even considered synonyms (by another
philosopher or ontologist). E.g., endurant and continuant (though
if you align dolce:endurant with bfo:continuant, you'll get an
logical inconsistency), individual, particular, instance, and
entity, and stuff, matter, mass, and substance. Most [do/plan
to/should] have pointers to each other. <br>
<br>
[1] the sandbox entry for that is
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://iaoaedu.cs.uct.ac.za/pmwiki.php?n=IAOAEdu.Continuant">http://iaoaedu.cs.uct.ac.za/pmwiki.php?n=IAOAEdu.Continuant</a> and we
decided on the first layout/formatting variant. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Maria<br>

You're right re:the disjunctive term I added. I've
now corrected it by separating them into two
terms: 'Generic Ontology' and 'Foundational
Ontology'. I did likewise for the term, 'Upper or
[...]', that was below it.<br clear="none">

After thinking about the names and acronyms of
particular applied ontologies, my current
recommendation is: #3 (question 2, page 3 in my
service report), use the full name, alone. We can
state a synonym of the acronym, but i don't suggest
that because the acronym may be used elsewhere in
and outside of ontology.<br clear="none">

For term presentation and organization, consider
web-based dynamic term lists or online databases. An
example is <a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow"
