2. The choice of words to describe ontological constructs in Bunge's work had to ge general enough to cover any application. We feel that the use of thing, which may be reasonable in a general framework, can be misleading in this context. Therefore, we have decided to replace it with the more concrete description of term.
3. Forms are given in HTML, which does not have a composition construct per se. Yet, our methodology transforms the HTML code into an XML definition, to be utilized in the reconciliation process.
