I really like the first sentence of 1.1:
We characterize the meaning of the term �ontology� to include a catalog of
terms used in a domain, the rules governing how those terms can be
combined to make valid statements about situations in that domain, and the
�sanctioned inferences� that can be made when such statements
are used in that domain.    (01)
