[semantics-public] cross-ontology mapping

[Don Brutzman]

Hi John.  It looks like you are building a taxonomy, i.e. a structured vocabulary.  This is an important starting point for any new ontology.

An important characteristic of the ontologies is that Semantic Web triples make it possible to cross-reference and correlate them.  This leads to crafting queries which can look at diverse models and information sources at one time.  It is a sophisticated and powerful set of capabilities that deserves study to understand.
