[sc34wg3] FW: Proposal for Starter Content

[Mary Nishikawa]

I was thinking that we need to work with something concrete like this for 
an OASIS committee or maybe some join project with this ISO committee. I 
think that there would be lots of interest in an upper ontology TC or a 
collaboration with this ISO committee. If anyone is interested, please 
contact me.

>ontology, which is being standardised as ISO 15926-2. This has now

>It is written in EXPRESS, an ISO standard data modelling language that
>is defined in ISO 10303-11.

>I should say that my intent/hope for future development may include
>translation into a Description Logic language (OWL?) or First Order
>Logic language and the addition of further axioms than those that are
>part of the structure of the data model, together with inclusion within
>the IFF framework together with other upper ontologies with different
>foundations.

>What I am not sure of is where we have got to with how we propose
>content to be formally considered part of our work here.
