I know it sounds shocking but you can make you ontology as simple as you want, <br>and you can have as many as you want.<br>There does not need to be only one set of rules, <br>I can defined them for my own little bit of the map and others can use them.<br>
<br>the point is that you can define your terms formally and check them.<br>mike<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 12:24 AM, Tom Hughes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tom@compton.nu">tom@compton.nu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Please add it to the list, but it would be nice to define some of the<br>
terms and abbreviations to help the ignorant like me!<br>

It's completely not the "osm way" and isn't going to fly.<br>
