&lt;br /&gt;
[X]  3. expert&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[  ]  4. other (please specify):  (Not Answered) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3a Ontology Value - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;A common set of terms and processing rules.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3b Ontology Issues - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Defining the level to which it is operational, i.e. whether it embraces &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the rest or if it is embraced by it.  Ontology is only one specific &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
point of view. Degree of Agreement evolves over time.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3c Ontology Problems - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Try to elucidate the divergence between the meaning of &amp;quot;ontology&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in the philosophical sense (&amp;quot;the science of being&amp;quot;) which conveys &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the notion of absolute and the computer-science sense &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('an exhaustive conceptual schema') which tends to impose the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
misleading view that there is no other way to conceptualize. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An ontology should be seen as a particular world view.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question 3d Corresponding Solutions - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Decompose in a common low level representation, and recompose &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
several views (=ontologies). This is equivalent to decompose &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
operations in assembly language, and recompose them according &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
to different high level languages.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
