Soundness isn't the same, because we can lie (tell wrong facts) to
the reasoner, which will (soundly) repeat back the lies.
That's the sort of thing that happens when we use is_a instead of
part_of in our ontologies.

Just to clarify, because "sound and complete" is often used in a
different sense: I don't mean sound and complete in the sense it is
used in describing the properties of reasoning algorithms. I meant
this
statement with respect to the quality of answers to questions asked
within our domain of interest: Biology/Life Sciences. The former
only
depends on the algorithm. The latter depends on what's in our KB, and
how we ask the questions.
[VK] I guess soundness is still the same, don't want "wrong"
answers to be
returned in any case. But completeness would be based on the what's
there in the
virtual integrated DB/KB.
