Me too.  Slide #4 of Ray's presentation describes the "2007 Summit  
Objective" [ which, I believe, motivates this discussion] as "...  
define and agree to a systematic means of categorizing the many kinds  
of things that are referred to as 'an ontology' ".  Slide #2 lists  
some of these as:  "Thesaurus, Taxonomy, "Folksonomy", Conceptual  
model, Formal logic model, Logical domain theory, XML Schema..."    
Also note Web 2.0 W3C,  and "more logos welcome" on the first slide  
as an indication of the range of inclusion.  Quite a stretch, but I  
think that is the challenge...    (01)
