SUO: Examples! Examples! Examples!

EEE. Note 1

I am going to use this thread to collect a few examples
of ontology related materials from various literatures
and other sources, focusing on those that are concrete
and simple enough to subject to a complete analysis
from several different practical and theoretical
points of view.
I also want to use this material to explore the issues
of mappings and transformations between different theories
and vocabularies, whether in the formally extracted object
languages or the semi-formally employed embedding languages.
The spirit of the exercise that I have in mind
is ably captured by Jim Schoening's suggestion
about a problem that has been with us from the
very beginning:
