Subject: Re: [xtm-wg] Communicating with coherent ontology (in English and other languages)


> semantics are still a bit fuzzy

Going meta myself (I can resist everything except temptation ;-) --

I'm sure "fuzzy" was meant metaphorically, but on the, or some, other
hand, at Heathrow I picked up a copy of Bart Kosko's "Fuzzy Thinking"
-- it has several diagrams in it that are crying out to be represented
as topic maps (I recall one for the drug trade). 

What made these topic maps "fuzzy" was weights on the associations....
