Its almost good enough... But an ontology is more than just about terms.    (01)

How about:    (02)

 "a formal description of terms that represent concepts and
relationships in as 
chosen subject matter of interest"    (03)

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.    (08)

Surely after 15 years we can do better than "specification of a
conceptualization"?  Isn't it time we put that one to rest?    (012)
