Note from Jim Rhyne on Sep. 14 (emphasis added):

"The discussion in the BMI today pertaining to SCE and SDMNreminds me of the challenges facing submitters who want to create domain specificspecifications but have to include specifications for domains of generalinterest (e.g. organization, knowledge, behavior, things). The KnowledgeRepresentation (KR) branch of AI has long sought representations for thesegeneral interest domains and quite a few have been published as scholarlyworks. As work on the BACM metamodel progressed, I have tried to keep therelevant KR work from AI in mind, as a hedge against omitting somethingimportant or just modeling something incorrectly.

I think this same procedure could be applied tothe BPM+ specifications, but would require the stipulation of a set ofresources from AI, logic and philosophy that could be used to guide OMGsubmitters facing this issue. I wonder if the (already overburdened?) AI PTF orthe Ontology PSIG would be interested in addressing this need."
