some more questions in Prop 28

John,


Section 2.3, lines 290-292
<quote>
It should be noted that this minimal set of operations means that if one aspect of a class in an ontology is to be updated then the entire class must be deleted and then added back to the ontology.

I'm thinking what happens to keyedReferences when I delete a class?
Do they have to be deleted as well?

On the other hand, can classes be updated without deletion, but using "load"?
So that if I load an ontology that defines a class that is already defined then the definition is replaced.


-----------------------------------------
To what extent does the node need to parse and understand the ontology?
What if ontology defines MALE and FEMALE as mutially exclusive classes and someone uses both to categorise a tModel?



-----------------------------------------
How can a user obtain a copy of the nodes current ontology?



-----------------------------------------
Who and how is looking after validity and integrity of the current implicit ontology?



Cheers,
Max
