Ontology? (01)
An ontology is a storage area. It should be able to store anything. (02)
If the discussion of iterators are about accessing entities within the
ontology, then the selection of the iterator should be up to the
designer of the system. Is there truly a need to specify the details of
an iterator for a "universal" ontology? (03)
