Hiya, (01)
surely every ontologist should have created an ontology, be able to
explain their modelling choices, compare to what they found out there
and so on as well as to have a vague idea of how it might be used.
That could be a short-thesis. This should allow demonstrating
familiarity with relevant tools, but tools are varied and what matters
is the ability to learn them as need arises. (02)
I hope, at any rate, there will never be any multiple choice tests in
serious ontology teaching... (03)
cheers
