Dear Jack, (01)

MW: That is already interesting. I think Anatoly was saying the opposite,
that algorithms and ontology were closely intertwined. Could you elaborate
on what you mean? Equivalent leaves almost identical, but not quite as an
option. How different do you see them and in what way? (03)

MW: I'm not familiar with this. Could you elaborate? (05)

MW: I must admit, that although I keep hearing talk about ontology in
engineering, what I see happening is standard terminologies/taxonomies and
mathematical models. Whether these count as ontologies depends largely on
how tightly you define ontology. Some would say that if it is not using some
sort of logic based reasoning then it is not ontology, others would say that
if it is about the nature of things then it is about ontology. I tend to be
in the latter camp. (07)
MW: For me it would be particularly interesting to find needs of systemists
that do indeed need more than terminologies/taxonomies. (08)
