Amanda, Andrea, and Ed, (01)
These are important issues that must be recognized and supported
by the theory, the methodology, and the tools. (02)

These are very important issues. They have been addressed by different
groups in different ways. Whether you call them theory, methodology,
or tools is irrelevant. It's essential to address them together. (04)

The term "integrating ontology" is good. But it's important to note
that this is a *metalevel* ontology. (06)

Every logic for specifying any ontology from Aristotle to the present
can specify equivalences of that kind. The issues about finding,
importing, relating, and combining the modules are critical. (09)
Many people and committees are addressing those issues -- including
the OOR and OntoIOP groups. But they are intimately related to work
that has been done for years in the database community, the knowledge
base community, the programming language community, and mainstream IT. (010)
Any solution that addresses *only* communities with names that
begin with the letter O will be *ignored* by mainstream IT. (011)
