General

  • gUFO has OntoUML so perhaps more/easier applicability to software models
  • (somewhere) was intended for conceptual modeling, including simulation modeling
    • @chatgpt (Private): "Unlike GFO and DOLCE, which have their roots in formal ontology and linguistic cognition respectively, UFO is designed to address the practical needs of conceptual modeling and simulation."
  • Instances of gufo:Type are classes, and should specialize the taxonomy of individuals of gUFO. For example, \"Person\" is a gufo:Type (more specifically a gufo:Kind), specializing gufo:Object. The mechanism that allows for this is called punning in OWL 2.
