I agree, Everyone, (01)
I agree not just because I work with Deborah in the convergence of
domains of Brick and Mortar Architecture with Information Architecture
in Emergency Management where geographical, geopolitical and, currently
lacking, interior space terminologies and data models must work together
to provide first responders and follow-on responders with accurate
current information in usable forms as needed. This kind of convergence
is happening across all domains to a greater or lesser extent. (02)
Ontological Analysis, not just in the sense of analysis of ontologies,
but in the sense of analysis of the convergences mentioned above in
economics, healthcare and the interplay of geopolitics with energy and
environmental issues using ontological models to better understand this
interconnectedness is urgently needed. (03)
Cheers,

P.S. I may yet fill out the Delphi Study if I can take the time. I have
already taken the second survey.
