I would like to propose a *supplementatry* strategy in a value based
approach. It is not always necessary to create large projects that
invents a new set theory, a new interchange format, a new foundational
ontology or to asks an organization to throw out their old works and
start fresh or any other heavy weight task. (02)
Why not suggest to the ontologicaly challanged to smoothly incorporate
*parts* of existing onto-logical methods , principles, etc into their
upcoming workstreams. (03)
A key part here is that the work products should be
compartmentalised/partitioned/contextualised/... so that the qualities
of understandability and acceptability are addressed. Mush of existing
work is too much, to big , too complex, too much "meta model or
ontology" (freighting words), for a business ontologies to comprehend
and use. Making the pieces smaller and documented with examples from the
spatio-temporal real word could go a long way. (04)
thanks
