Rick, Jon, and Mills, (01)
Those are good suggestions, which I hope may get this forum
back on track toward something useful. (02)

The first sentence is a version of the correspondence theory
of truth, which has been the most common approach from Aristotle
to Tarski. And the second emphasizes Peirce's point about the
need to test that correspondence. (06)

The design perspective in the third column of that table would
seem to be the most directly applicable to the goals of designing
useful ontological resources. (08)

Following is an excerpt from that web page. (010)

The page is organized as follows. We begin with a general overview of
design research, provide its philosophical and epistemological
underpinnings, and contrast design research in IS with traditional
positivist and qualitative research in IS. This is followed by a section
on design research methods that includes an extended discussion of a
published example of design research in IS. Through the example we hope
to make concrete all phases of the design research method: artifact
design, construction, analysis and evaluation. This is then followed by
a number of resource sub-sections that relate to design research in
general as well as to design research in IS: citation lists, links to
resources on the Internet for design researchers, calls for papers and
links to conferences, workshops, journals and communities of practice
for IS design research. (013)
The goal is to provide the IS community with useful information on
design research both in and outside of IS. The page contains numerous
citations permitting the interested reader to easily access original
material on and examples of this unique and dynamic IS research paradigm. (014)
