[ppy] I concur. I am sure we will get into a lot more discussion (and
more granular details) when we approach "requirement," "architecture,"
and "design" issues of the OOR. (02)
What we need is to get past this "Ontology Repository" definition, to
make sure we aren't talking about very different things that members
have in mind. (03)
