Re: [ontolog-forum] Ockham

Dick:

I have been following this conversation from day one and really urge you to hear what Chris, Pat and John are saying.  These guys have devoted their lives to this work and have separated the aspects of “labels” and “conceptual work”.   IMO – you cannot pay all the money in the world for better advice.   Conceptual work is where ontology work should be done, the labeling is where most people mistakenly think they are doing it.  When you have 3 of the world’s leading experts (yes – that is just my opinion) on a topic stating that your approach could use re-considering, it is worth giving it a thought.  

There is no malice in this group and there are a lot of people genuinely interested in helping mKR.  I think if you can take this in and consider the feedback as viable, it might help your efforts substantially.  I personally came to this group and have learned so much by being willing to be open to their perspectives.   Please give it a careful thought.

Duane
