is that an ontology created using similar methods will, if
done well, produce similar (but different) results.&nbsp; My prior note

15 years and many tens of millions of dollars to develop their ontologies.&nbsp;
However, they are willing to adopt a standard ontology developed in a more
principled way (their caveats are in my previous note).
