I meant to indicate that i see problems with trying to integrate such
ontologies. I was not suggesting that it be done. (02)
I distinguish between ontology design patterns and naming systems.
Integrating ontologies with similar naming conventions but different
design patterns would be more difficult than integrating ontologies with
different naming conventions but similar design patterns. Not that i am
recommending either. (03)
