Re: [ontolog-forum] Defining Concept

[Charles D Turnitsa <CTurnits@xxxxxxx>]

John, Deborah,

 I agree with some of Deborah's choices of terms, Facet seems to come close, but I do have to agree with John.  Relying on a natural language term to describe an element of ontology is a flirtation with peril (as I have been personally experiencing).

er... what problem is being sorted out here? All of these
terms are already overloaded to the nth degree and
have non-overlapping meanings; as does
Aspect. If there was ever a good example of why ontology
can and should use an axiomatised formalisation
instead of natural language terms, then
I guess this is it! :-)
