--->>> The initial impetus for developing a list of terms was
use/abuse of certain terms across various domains during
this summer's IAOA Summer School.
The intent was not to provide an all inclusive list, though
that might be nice, but to focus on the terms from the domains
addressed during the summer school (and represented in the
diagram on the wiki page) that were used with multiple
interpretations.
My presumption is that these domains are 'core' to applied
ontology and provide the basis for other areas or domains
that are or may be considered important (e.g., semantic web).
Of course what I'd really prefer is an ontology for the domain
of applied ontology. But I thought we might first agree on
some terms, or at least identify 'core' terms, their applicable
domains and respective interpretations therein, allowing for
disagreements. Again, starting with those that seem to have
multiple interpretations (e.g., kind, type, class, property, etc.).
