[ontolog-forum] Towards a Goal Ontology

John B identifies a truly intriguing question:

  If identifying "goals" of a system is as fundamental as identifying the users of a system, then the attainment of these goals is the proper "meta-goal" of every semantic system. Should not every semantic system identify the goals of the creators & users of the system, using this info to modify/refine its operation?

 

or some such, but you get the idea (an if-then!)
