This is a good contribution to the discussion. (01)
This would be a good set of pages for the wiki.
With a little contribution from some of the people in the forum who have
great expertise and experience, we could end up with a nice description
of the fundamental tools that could help all of us get more proficient.
At least we would have a guide to what basic knowledge is required to
begin to understand, discuss and apply ontology. (02)
