yes, however when the title of the lecture is 'ontology engineering'
and then it teaches 'ontology engineering in the W3C sense, it is
misleading, especially when it fails to convey all the limitations of
the latter, in comparison to broadest oe sense.
thus the label 'indoctrination' (03)

or maybe it means that I am frustrated that a lot of what is sold as
'ontology engineering' education actually offers limited semantic
precision thus defeating its purpose (05)
