Yes, these are useful, and there are a number of others. May I suggest
that you add the COSMO ontology to the list of
Top-level ("upper" or "foundation") ontologies? It has things in it that
are not in OpenCyc or SUMO, and is intended to contain a comprehensive
inventory of the semantic primitives - as well as other elemens useful to
help build domain ontologies. (03)
See: http://micra.com/COSMO for the ontology and some discussion of it. (04)
