The analysis is now on the Ontolog site at

I presume that the registry parameters will not be linear dimensions, so 
they would be more informative, and decisions could be based on them. 
The framework dimensions and the assessments are useful for giving a 
global picture about ontologies in general, but IMHO it would not be a 
good idea to use them for making a decision about a particular ontology.    (07)

I hope that the framework dimensions and assessments can be helpful for 
the registry and ontology-of-ontologies discussions, but it isn't clear 
how useful it would be to align them closely.    (08)
