Azamat, (01)
May I request that you take this conversation elsewhere. This mailing
list, or for that matter the Ontolog-CWE, is not the right place for
it. (02)
This is the "collaborative work environment" for the ONTOLOG community
(who is set out to do what is in their charter
- see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nidB ). (03)
Your post has fails to demonstrate a spirit of collaboration, nor is
it helping advance our charter. (04)
Regards. =ppy (05)
