As long as well all know what the numbers mean, of course :-) (02)

Sorry to rain on a parade, but I really don't know what most of these mean. (04)
>The global view, unedited, uncaptured, fully dynamic (05)
Er...global in what sense? (Not a joke! Do you mean, global as in
everyone agrees with it ("Common sense")?
Uncaptured? So is this before we even get started writing it all down
in some way? If so, I wouldn't call this an ontology at all, more
like a weltanschauungen.
Dynamic?? Do you mean changing with time? Why would it be? (Other
than in the sense that all world-views are evolving, etc..) (06)

A formalization of a world-view. Thats not a bad definition of an
ontology, in fact. So yes, this is (I think) an ontology. But this
seems to me to be where it stops. (08)

I don't know what the last four words mean in this context. (010)

Er... what? (012)

Not a story: ontologies aren't much like stories. I guess many
ontologies can be seen as 'local views', yes. And virtually anything
could be described as a set of information. But I don't see what
these three ideas have in common.(?) (014)
