The topic of ontology somewhat verges on philosophy. The word "ontology" is originally from philosophy; there is a need for disambiguation. It would become apparent if you browse Smith's paper I cited or visit this site mentioned at the CPSC 522 course page: http://ontology.buffalo.edu/smith/

Regarding use of bullet points, personally I prefer to use sentences for precision and clarity. In presentation slides or other kinds of writing, which are essentially notes, I would use bullet points. Generally speaking, pictorial representation does not replace explanation in words. For the Fido example, please see my reply to Nam below. Part of the reason might be that as a former arts minor, I am used to dense prose and tend not find sentences too long. But I will certainly try to mix shorter sentences. Also, a brief summary sentence at the end of a section might help.

As for the last paragraph, generally I prefer to clearly indicate which part is from external sources to avoid plagiarism. But again, I can try to revise wording a little.
