Can the more sophisticated tripartite mode … Can the more sophisticated tripartite model capture everything of the earlier bipartite model? (This is a typical test of whether one framework is more general than another — that is, it is more general if the less general model can be captured as a special case.) Also, in the bipartite model, associations between instances and concepts were tracked. In the tripartite model, the same associations are tracked, but with the additional information of ''who'' made the association. How is this different than a provenance model which tracks the same thing? Or, if addressing ''ontology drift'' is one of the author's concerns, why not use a quadripartite model that also tracks time? Then ontologies could be extracted with temporal information and ontologies from different times compared. ontologies from different times compared.
