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
