Very interesting (and challenging) proposition. (01)
Not being familia with the StratML CoP personally, I
would extend my invitation here to leaders of the
StratML CoP to either continue this conversation online
(if anyone of you are already on the [ontolog-forum]),
or contact me off-line, if you welcome the initiation
of a dialog (with Ontolog) along the lines that Owen
has suggested ... and we can all take it from there. (02)
Regards. =ppy
