Luc, Dear John, dear all, first of all my apologies for my late reply. I'm happy to be of any help. I also agree with John's suggestion: "terminology" is just fine. To be more practical and to get things started, we can use past attempts at clarifying concepts in applied ontology. Off the top of my head, there are at least four interesting terminological sources which one could exploit: (1) John Sowa's terminology in the appendix of his book on Konwledge Representation; (2) the report on the Wonderweb library of ontologies by the group of Nicola Guarino, (3) an essay on terminology which Barry Smith sent at an earlier stage of the discussion. (4) a "Handbook on Ontology" by Burkhardt and Smith, which is slightly more philosophical but still of good use. There are surely other interesting sources. (1), (2) and (3) already could provide a first orientation as to the items to be included in our terminology. Very best, Luc -- Dr. Luc Schneider, M.Sc.
