[ppy] what I (and probably a few others in the Jan-23 discussion) had
in mind when discussing the original proposals,) "artefacts related to
particular ontologies" are those that were addressed during Ontology
Summit 2007 [1] - which revolved around the theme of: "Ontology,
Taxonomy, Folksonomy: Understanding the Distinctions." This would
include "artifacts" that various communities may "call an ontology"
and those they are spread out over the "ontology spectrum" (which
includes data models, database and XML schemas, taxonomies, thesaurus,
conceptual models, logical theories, etc.) (02)

Ontology Summit 2007 (2007.01.18~2007.04.24 plus some follow-up
activities) at:

Virtual Organizing for the Ontology Summit 2007" -
