Dear Doug, (01)
MW: This is why we are talking past each other in this discussion. (02)

MW: I am not talking about a hierarchy of ontologies, but a single
monolithic ontology. Independent ontologies or systems would be mapped to
and from it, not incorporated beneath it. (04)

have

users

MW: You are, but I am talking about something quite different. For what you
are talking about I am quite happy with what you are saying. It is just not
what I am talking about. (06)
