Yes, I noticed that we don't have a direct answer to my original
question. I would also be interested in seeing an answer to yours. (02)
To the extent that any schema or ontology (whether 'universal' or not)
"facilitates access to knowledge," what we call 'disclosure' in the
Topic Maps Reference Model, I am all for it. (03)
That is to say if I formally or informally 'disclose' to you enough
information for you to access information organized by me or to
integrate it with information you may have organized differently, that
is a very good thing. The extent to which that can be formalized and
possibly automated by some means is a plus. (04)
Hope you are having a great day! (05)
