terms confused

In my previous posts [1] I attempted to describe the problem, approaching from the information science point of view. I developed MOM since my very first semesters of my course of studies, so that I already dropped the usual information science approaches of organizing information when I were taught these. Hence I am not strong in these. Having to research on thesauri for my diploma thesis was a problem, but to avoid to let it become a problem for the thesis' assessment I took strong web research to get the thesaurus terms and implications clear. That effort was honoured by an A (i.e. excellent) rating for the thesis. But it also leaves the gaps relating to other kinds of term organizing ontologies and terminologies.

For you readers of this blog, I attempted to guide you from any kind of term organizing ontology to MOM; but in fact I am not firm in the fields of ontologies. So, I likely confused the terms. I researched to get the terms clear, but all I found was that the terms as is are treated to be not clear yet. So my only hope to get a clear approach would be to ascertain the currently most preferred set of definitions of the terms mentioned.

But since I am seeking a job, I don't have that much time as I would like to have to perform such a research/retrieval approach. So I drop this approach for now. If you can define the terms involved, I would greatly appreciate, if you would contribute any of the definition(s) in the comments of this post or any of the previous ones!

Removed my workaround for backlinks blogger.com didn't support in earlier times. Now, backlings are there, therefore the bypass can be dropped.
