Hi Peter and All,
Sorry to report the slowness of our progress for this project - which  
happens when
you aren't directly focused on structuring terminology but creating  
the conditions for it.
We have managed to establish a good terminology base and community to  
work with
in these last years. You might be interested in seeing the latest  
issue of Organised Sound Journal v12.2:
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayIssue? 
jid=OSO&volumeId=12&issueId=02    (01)

This is a multilingual glossary with a solid history that we will be  
working with:
http://www.ears.dmu.ac.uk/    (02)

My current project is working on a methodology for tagging objects  
with mobile phones
and then tagging those tags with relational terms (ontologizing) -  
called folk-ontology after
folksonomy - thus, not strictly focused/fixated on the 'hyponym' (the  
is-a relationship).
see: tag798.daohaus.org.    (03)

Discussion welcome!
