Concerning desiderata for the Common Subset. Some elaboration
regarding some of the common things that probably should be represented
in a Common Subset Ontology: (01)
(1) The Types for "Named entities": (02)
"named entity recognition" is an active branch of Natural Language
Processing that extracts out of text the "atomic elements" which are
instances of common things that appear in text, referred to by names or
strings that identify unique entities (which may be abstract, such as
percentages). Among the most commonly processed are: (03)
person names
person titles
company/organization names
geopolitical entity names
locations and geographical places
dates×
individual events (e.g. World War II)
percentages
monetary amounts
measures (04)
Other named entities that are common and need representation are:
individual artifacts (e.g. Big Ben)
Conceptual Works (Beethoven's Fifth Symphony)
---------------- (05)
(2) "grammatical roles in events"
Perhaps more appropriately referred to as semantic roles (expressed
as semantic relations) in events that have surface manifestations in
text, such as
actor (agent(s) causing an event)
patient (entity changed by event)
instrument
time of event
location of event
purpose of action
manner, means, or method for action
outcome or result of event (state change, another event, or process)
enabling preconditions for event
------------------ (06)
I think these would be among the minimum set of ontology elements that
one would want to include in a common subset. Others can be easily
imagined. (07)

Dear Pat, (011)
You suggest some elements that might be part of a common subset. Most
of
these are things that lie below the 3D/4D line and can be given an
interpretation either way by inclusion with a suitable upper ontology.
They are very much in the territory of what I think can be usefully
shared. (012)
See a few specific comments. (013)

MW: Yes. (015)

MW: Time and space looks rather different in 4D, so this will probably
need mapping. (017)
> artifacts, locations, agents, parts, (018)
MW: Yes (we have a lot of types of artifact). (019)

MW: Not sure. (021)

MW: Could you explain what you mean further? (023)

MW: Don't understand this either. Could you give further explanation? (025)
> The more the better. (026)
MW: I would add physical properties and units of measure. (027)
