Peter P. Yim: "Do we upload other people's ontologies?" .... Peter: I suggest we *don't* do it at all

(and don't even try to "mislead" people into believing that someone on the OOR team will do so ... we

have to convince the stewards of the ontologies to join us on the team and to upload the ontologies

themselves AND, more importantgly, to *maintain* them afterwards

Michael Grüninger: The link to COLORE is
