Re: [ontology-summit] categorizing "ontology"

[Bill Andersen <andersen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This exists and it's called ODM, or at least until something better comes along.  But ODM really only says things about documents formed from sentences in this or that logical language and doesn't inform the discussion of "ontology" as meant by Steve, Peter, and Leo.

Suppose there existed a meta model of “Ontology” that created and linked all of the atomic structures that an ontology  could/should have according to the consensus of the Ontolog community.  Then this meta-model would be capable of having mappings to all of those local “Ontologies” that are in reality thesauri, or conceptual models, or taxonomies, or use cases, etc.  These mappings would clearly show what is and IS NOT included in the local offering and this then becomes a relatively straightforward set of comparison points for what one is referring to as “I have an Ontology.”
