That's a good article. (02)
Application to ontology: You cannot separate the ontology of a system
from its design and implementation. (03)
Imagine an IT department that had one group doing the architecture,
a second group doing the design, a third group doing the ontology,
and a fourth group doing the implementation. (04)
There is only one way that department could produce a successful
system: the chief implementer might have enough experience and
common sense to ignore the other three. (05)
