Subject: [ontac-forum] Type vs. Class - last chance to vote.

In order to resolve a terminological question, we are in the process of voting whether to use the term "Type" or "Class" to refer to those intensionally-defined groupings called:

  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
  ---------------

The only contenders put forward are:
   Type
   Class

   if "type" then  the subsumption relation will be subtype
   if "class" then the subsumption relation will be subclass

 Thus far the preferences expressed have been:
   Type  10
   Class  4

I will tally the vote on Sunday night (Jan. 22nd).
If you have any preference and haven't yet voted, send me a note
directly:
