Re: [regrep] Interest in Ontology Process Control Subcommittee

Zachary,

That is why we are doing the SCM work on noun definitions
and business catalogues - so we can suggest how people
can do this.  Of course we cannot force them to do it that
way - but we can give them what we think is a good way
to start from.  As you note - this builds that neutral base
across groups - hopefully!

Thanks, DW.
