I used Protege for OWL recently (last year) to develop an ontology for
materials data. Worked well. Is anyone worrying about the content of this
ontology? Remember that this content is basically the subject of an
international treaty and evokes wonderful intellectual arguments about how many
angels can fit on the head of a pin. Point is - "important" people think the
semantics have already been worked out. (01)

If we all agree about CLIF and OWL, perhaps we can begin to discuss the
tools one can use with those formalisms? I find Protégé convenient for
viewing OWL files, though it can be slow even with a moderately complex
ontology (7,000 classes). This should not be a problem for a UOM ontology.
Are others using different tools? (04)
What tool is recommended for working with CLIF files? Are there examples
of usage for study? Does the SigmaKEE tool that is used with SKIF handle
the kinds of syntax that Pat Hayes would recommend? (05)
