I am glad to hear that,


But this is NOT writing axioms or comparing ontologies.


I did not say that. I say that before encoding ontology, there is some
groundwork to be done in plain english.
To write OWL without having a set of diagrams and other standard
documetnation to work with, would be like coding without analysis and
design.


. Agreement on 'the facts' expressed informally is where
> ontology engineering starts,


so, shall we start? (before worrying where it ends)

also, did nt you say that somethin in Higgins is broken, maybe
that's something that should be worked on before thinking of coding
