Chris,
I am not in the business of data mining.I used to do content analysis and I 
have been involved in systems and daat base design with  very early and 
still valid results before the Windows era. But that is not important. I am 
linguist who is trying to explain that semantic analysis as done by 
practitioners of formal logic and designers of ontologies is incorrect from 
a semantic and pragmatic point of view. I am not inetersted in the 
implementation side either, because the solutions offered are built on an 
infrastructure that is far too wasful. I am trying to advocate LEAN thinking 
in this field or application research. As afar as our sncing is concerned, I 
revert to that a little later.
Best
F    (01)
