I'm inclined to agree with the addition of 'or'. It is entirely possible
that a repository will not manage an ontology but only store it and allow it
to be retrieved. Also, can someone clarify what is meant by 'related
information artefacts'? Do you mean artefacts related to particular
ontologies, or do you mean ontologies 'and similar' (i.e., do you mean to
include other kinds of knowledge organisation systems (KOS) like
classification schemes and taxonomies?) (01)

"OntologyRegistry" too) for the OOR Initiative (03)
All, (04)
I apologize for raising the concern - given what Dennis has described, would
it be possible to modify the description to read... (05)
"An ontology repository is a facility where ontologies and related
information artifacts can be stored, retrieved and/or managed." (06)
The insertion of the word "or" would make the definition acceptable to me.
Without it, perhaps it will exclude some legitimate repository
architectures. I believe that 'retrieved' could be read to mean referenced. (07)
Best regards,
Denise (08)
