Thanks, Peter, for those very useful pointers and reminders. (01)
Although the difference is largely unspoken in this group, Rob Akscyn
was making the even more basic distinction between the traditional
definition of _ontology_ and _ontology (information science)_ as defined
in Wikipedia. Sometimes we gloss over that distinction. (02)
BTW, Rob was co-developer of ZOG and KMS (Knowledge Management System)
-- two of the most important pre-Web hypertext systems. (03)
Nice to hear your voice, Rob. (04)
