Hi all, (01)
I originally posted this to the ontolog-forum and Peter suggested that I post
it here as well. I thought of these questions after yesterday's presentations,
but wasn't sure if it should have been in this list or that list. Problem
solved, they're in both! (02)

As (memberOf @me (union (programmerClass analystClass systemsArchitect))) I
could easily think of questions pertaining to set theory, graph theory,
unification (Prolog) and syntax (RDF, N3, OWL). But that wouldn't be treating
it any differently than gallimaufry of Mathematics and Computer Science. What
about nomenclature, taxonomy, etymology, hermeneutics (or anything else in
linguistics)? (04)
