The following answers are suggested: (01)
Q: Is the gist of this proposal that existing standards for measurement
are
going to be re-written in CLIF (Common Logic Interchange Format) and
from there normative representations are going to be created in OWL 2.0
DL and UML? (02)
That is to say that the TC really isn't creating any measurement
ontologies but simply expressing existing measurement systems as
ontologies? (03)
A: Correct in principle, subject to identification of ambiguities and
inconsistencies. (04)
Q: BTW, while looking for background information (and running across Pat (05)
Hayes, Peter Yim, etc. the usual ontology gang) I also saw PSL (Process
Specification Language), http://www.mel.nist.gov/psl/ontology.html. Not
relevant but thought it looked interesting. (06)
A: ISO 18629 is the ISO standardised version of PSL, standardised
through ISO TC 184/SC 4. Not relevant to this initiative. (07)
Q: What other ontologies exist for measurement?
A: See list in clause 2(h) of the charter. Tis list may not be
exhaustive, and the group is open to other contributions (08)
Q: Other than the use of CLIF, how is this work going to differ from
those
projects?
A: QUOMOS is endeavouring to deliver a single integrated modular set of
consistent ontologies, with a consistent extension mechanism to allow
sectoral extensions. (09)
Q: What permissions have been obtained for the use of the content of
other
standards organizations in the QUOMOS work?
A: We trust that ISO permission to use existing standards in creating
derivative works will be extended to this activity. The owners of the
various ontologies have been represented in the launch of the charter,
and have agreed to the IPR rules proposed for the TC. (010)

Jerry, (017)
The QUOMOS charter just came across my desk and I have a couple of
questions I wanted to ask before posting anything to the comment list. (018)
Is the gist of this proposal that existing standards for measurement are (019)
going to be re-written in CLIF (Common Logic Interchange Format) and
from there normative representations are going to be created in OWL 2.0
DL and UML? (020)
That is to say that the TC really isn't creating any measurement
ontologies but simply expressing existing measurement systems as
ontologies? (021)
BTW, while looking for background information (and running across Pat
Hayes, Peter Yim, etc. the usual ontology gang) I also saw PSL (Process
