Could you please point us to some literature about the 'histories' view? I remember that Alan Rector asked how my proposal of AFO would relate to 'histories', and I could not find any specific literature about that kind of ontological representation. Probably I searched in the wrong places. I am somewhat confused about why we need to introduce the term 'history', and as it seems, others have been confused too. I would rather prefer to just call these entities 'things at a certain timespan'. Histories, in the common understanding, cannot have properties like 'temperature' -- only the entities themselves can have these properties. cheers, Matthias Samwald . -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
