I think we need to maintain the distinctions between and Ontology, a Model, and a Theory. An Ontology need specify few relationships among concepts. It just assetrs what exusts in the universe of discourse and provides some concept specification. That's why I suggested in an earlier post that the KLC was an incomplete specification of an ontology. > > In this way the ontology can stand by itself. > > This is the alternative viewpoint. It is.
