I would like to get a sense of this group on a terminological question.
If you have any preference at all, please send me a note directly. (01)
The question was raised regarding what the ONTACWG community should
call those intensionally-defined groupings called: (02)
Class in Ontolingua and Protege
Class in RDF and OWL
Class in SUMO
Collection in OpenCyc
Universal in DOLCE
Property in Ontology Works' IODE system
--------------- (03)
The only contenders put forward are:
Type
Class (04)
if "type" then the subsumption relation will be subtype
if "class" then the subsumption relation will be subclass (05)
There have been a few expressions of support for each alternative.
It looks like time to resolve the question by vote. (06)
Unless you want to express some opinion regarding this to the list, it
will be best to send me the reply directly to avoid overloading. (07)
