[topicmapmail] ANN: SUMO Top Level Ontology (Update)

[Robert Barta]

Hi all,

If you are interested in using top-level ontologies in your topic
maps, you may want to look at SUMO (Murray mentioned it a while back
on this list). I have updated the meta data at

   http://topicmaps.bond.edu.au/mda/internet/semantic-web/ontology/sumo

to mirror the latest developments there and have translated it (in a
admittedly brute-force ad-hocish way, just for testing) into a TM:

   [ WARNING: big map => SLOW ]

   http://topicmaps.bond.edu.au/mda/internet/semantic-web/ontology/sumo/Entity

I am definitely not an ontology specialist, but I was surprised at the
richness of that ontology.

You may want to compare it with ISO-15926 (I hope that's its name)
