write spec - (lots of subtasks there)



 OWL is not a programming code, and

It's a 'metaphor' - but I think you and I do not share the same background,
therefore
you tend to misinterpret my constructs regularlty. I wish I could express
myself using
mathematical formulas


Listing relevant facts and topic areas, and
> first application areas, might be well worth trying, however.


sounds like a good start -  diagrams are useful to some people, and not so
useful to others
but the fact that they are not useful to you, does not mean that you have
the right to
wipe them off the project

I can answer that after you tell me what the facts are, Where are the
'assertions'
of this ontology? so that we can discuss them (apols if I they are somewhere
that I have not seen, but ifs so, they should be pointed to when referring
to them)

I see, syntax then - was wondering about that
