I was not suggesting a Thesaurus was an Ontology. I was suggesting Thesaurus
appear in your list of definitions so that I could then agree with your
statement: " An Ontology is the development of a combination of one or more
of all of the above..." (01)

Hi, (05)
I would suggest that a Thesaurus is not enough to be an Ontology, as a
Thesaurus only specifies things like Synonyms and Antonyms. It does not get
into syntactical use, grammatical use, clear definitions,
classifications/taxonomies, and much more. (06)
My Best, (07)
