The sentence "Kingsly Idehen is a person" is pretty much the same as "The 
technical name for policy number is mstr-pol-
no."    (03)

A person has the name Kingsley Idehen.    (04)

A data element name meaning policy number is mstr-pol-no.    (05)

That's pretty straight forward isn't it?    (06)



I would, as always, argue that if an (ontology)  tool is constrained to real 
language it's pretty much useless around legacy 
systems since for a variety of entirely non-negotiable reasons there are 
tremendous amounts of un-natural language 
around said systems.    (07)

Or from another angle... acknowledging that un-natural language is inherent to 
legacy systems (again, this is 100% non-
negotiable, & the technical jargon of the RDF/OWL/SPARQL/URI world is every bit 
as legacy as a 43 year old PL/1 system), 
how does said un-natural language get woven into ontology tools?    (08)
