[om-list] Subject / Schema Oriented Computing

[Mark Butler]

Yes.  My main observation is that the terminology used in object 
oriented modelling (class / object / relation) is completely indequate 
to the task of schema modelling , where a more appropriate terms are 
concept, referent, and belief, respectively. Or in other words, object 
oriented modelling is basically Aristotelean, and as such is relatively 
impoverished in the age of Frege and Wittgenstein, let alone Descartes.
