Subject: ISO 18629 Process Specification Language - still more meat for =
the
ontological stew

ISO has reached the last stage of approval for a new ontology that has =
about
300 concepts related to temporal duration, precedence, interval logic, =
time,
ordering, activities, and other concepts that they believe are related =
to
process specification in a manufacturing environment.  Surely these =
concepts
are general enough to handle many kinds of discrete process =
descriptions. =20

Does anyone have experience, opinions, beliefs, ... about the new PSL
standard?
