the humble html tag
<ul>
(unordered list)
to a post of honor
in the philosophical realm
where i'll re-dub it
'analysis'
after a rule of thumb
that emerged as i compiled
my timeline of knowledge representation
where i found that
any domain of knowledge
could be advanced
by proposing an
unordered list
of components of that domain
ie, an analysis
which lists i tried to quote
as illustrations
for the timeline
so a hierarchy is built of
nested
analyses
and an ontology is a hierarchy
that tries to span a domain
but all universal ontologies
are failures
because complex composites
can't follow
a simple hierarchical analysis
