Hi Barry,
Welcome to the SWHCLS list. Such a discussion reminds me of the
Nature paper: "Are the current ontologies in biology good
ontologies?"
(http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v23/n9/full/nbt0905-1095.html).
The paper uses the MGED (microarray) ontology to illustrate some of
the ontological issues. I'm just curious how the BFO principles and
practice can help make such a microarray ontology more ontologically
sound and therefore more machine readable.
We are already working on it:
