Talk:Infectious Disease Ontology

I just had a look at the ontology and I was a bit surprised that there is no sub-BFO Hierarchy. Fly, Insect and Organism are siblings which strikes me as odd. Is there a reason for this? (Mathias Brochhausen, IFOMIS)

By the way is there a chance of getting a owl file (with definitions) in order to work directly on it? Mathias

How do you define "pain". Depending on the definition I would not agree that pain is an object. Mathias

I am not sure whether being epidemic and being pandemic qualifies as a criterion differntiating two universals. I'd think this is either two FiatProcessParts (since the thresholds are defied by humans, if I remember that right, or maybe a property or a quality.....What do you think? Mathias
