John and John,

In as much as the "integrating" ontology is an "ontology about ontologies (and their concepts)" ... yes, it is a meta-ontology.  However, I find that people handle the term, "integrating ontology", much better.  And, it conveys the purpose (as opposed to being open-ended).

Given that some of my customers view ontologies with some skepticism (they call ontology, the "o-word"), I much prefer avoiding adding scary modifiers onto a scary word.  (That is just my experience.)

Andrea

Thanks John,
"Metalevel Ontology" sounds like a candidate class for an Ontolog Ontology of Ontologies (O3).

Any other types of ontologies come to mind for anyone?
thanks/jmc

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