Hi Peter,    (01)

Lots of "good" good enoughs in your reply to Chris.     (02)

At the OASIS Conference this week you mentioned Mark 3. Perhaps an
alternative to language based semantics is needed. A White Paper expanding
on Ballard's Theory of Information could contribute to this discussion.    (03)

As I mentioned at OASIS this week, the Mark 3 beta is almost ready for
release, and the several claims it makes can then be tested.    (04)

See http://www.knowledgefoundations.com/pdf-files/Mark3_KFI_Final.pdf    (05)

Cheers,    (06)

Bob    (07)

I agree: we've worked with the definition "a formal descriptions of terms
and the relationships between them" [1] as being good enough to know what we
talking about when we're talking about what we're talking about...and "good
enough" should be good enough.    (09)

Surely after 15 years we can do better than "specification of a 
conceptualization"?  Isn't it time we put that one to rest?    (013)
