[Mged-ontologies] About MGED ontology

[wangxiao <wan...@mu...>]

Hi, I wonder if there is any document that describes the design
philosophy/principle of MGED Ontology?  

 

For instance, Class Experiment is a subclass of ExperimentPackage, which is
a subclass of MGEDCoreOntology, which is in turn a subclass of MGEDOntology.

 

I don't understand the rationale behind such design.  

 

Because if say, I have an experiment "E" and I want to describe it as an
instance of Experiment.  With the designed class hierarchy in MGEDOntology,
it implies "E" is an "MGEDOntology"?
