Well, this thread started with a question about
what word to use, which kind of set the tone. (02)

I can't really see what you are talking about here. Can you give more details? (04)

Hmmm, I still can't see it. An ontology is,
typically, a bunch of assertions in some logical
notation. Such a bunch can sometimes be presented
graphically (as a topic map or a concept map or a
semantic network or a conceptual graph) but a
concept is then a single node or label in that
graphic, not the entire "drawing". Also, its the
mathematical graph structure of the thing that
matters, not its graphic presentation in an
artistic sense (maybe you didnt mean to imply
that?) (06)
Or maybe you meant something else entirely? (07)
