I agree with Chris that using 'defined class' in the OGMS hierarchy is bound to
confuse. I propose we use a better term:
'nonuniversal class' to denote a class that is not a universal in the BFO
sense...i.e., not repeatable in nature
OR, perhaps
'named class' to denote a class that science gives a name to, but whose status
as a
universal has not been determined

We discussed this on the OGMS call, and although I dropped off before the
discussion
ended, I just want to note that in the OWL world, the word 'class' refers often
to
the representational unit, and not what is represented in reality.
I think any term we come up with that includes the word 'class' has great
potential
to cause the same problems as 'defined class'.
