Dear Victor,    (01)

     I'm very interested on collaborating in your proposal playing the 
role of an ontology evaluation expert.
We can use OOPS! as first step for identifying problems in the 
ontologies and then we can also use the method in which OOPS! is based 
(probably in combination with other quality frameworks such as the one 
presented by Samir Tartir and the one presented by Astrid Duque).    (02)

Best Regards,    (03)

         Mari Carmen.    (04)
