this is important and useful info; my response was admittedly first
of all intended for the sio-dev branch of the discussion since we
consider approaches to modularity and heterogeneity
as an essential component of attempts
to build Open Ontology Repositories.
For those who are as yet less convinced (with good reason!)
about the benefits of ontologies and logic at all, the story
obviously looks quite different. (03)
Nevertheless, we are indeed considering
the kind of structuring layer for specifications that
we are building as a strong candidate for standardisation
and have some proposals and projects running in this
direction; we see this as an *additional* contribution
to work on the logic framework of, e.g.,
the semantic web stack, not a replacement of other
efforts. Placing certain functionality (e.g., encapsulation)
in this structuring layer seems a more robust solution to us than adding
individual features to individual languages, logics, etc.
But it is very early days and there is much to do. (04)

Couldn't quite follow that: are you suggesting the CL has
a well developed community and open tools? (lead me to them.... :-) (06)

For real treatments of these languages' real semantics
(and hence their integration), some
basic issues will in the long term be difficult to avoid. But
there's a lot to do on the way and I am sure much will
be learnt (and benefitted) from more direct attempts at
solutions. (08)
