I was referring more to building a case for expressing the Core
Component Types (and eventually all core components, and then UBL, ...
and so on) in an ontology, or more specifically, in a KIF-SUMO-based
ontology. Some of that discussion may be helpful. (02)
Pertinent questions may include: (03)
* how would that improve upon whatever is being done now? (04)
* what more would that add to (or what's wrong with) modeling the
CCT's in UMM (in this case, or UML in general)? (05)
We could discuss this more, in real time on Thu 2004.03.04 (hopefully
with TimMcGrath's presence) when we will try to specifically tackle
this matter during our regular phone conference (ref:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2004_02_19#nid041). (06)
