The document discusses proposed changes to the UCore 2.0 taxonomy and ontology to improve semantic interoperability. It suggests adding subclasses and reorganizing some of the taxonomy based on logical definitions provided in the supporting UCore Semantic Layer (UCore SL) ontology. The UCore SL aims to provide a logically defined taxonomy to facilitate consistent merging with other ontologies and enable enhanced reasoning with UCore data. The proposed changes are generated automatically based on the logical relations in UCore SL to improve quality assurance as UCore expands.

- 45. Multiple Inheritance This tank is always a type of “Ground Vehicle” At “Time T” it was also “Cargo” As COI’s extend UCore 2.0 to provide more specific coverage of their domains, entities will be sub-typed under multiple parent terms in order to accommodate the attributes they acquire during their participation in events. Such multiple inheritance leads to difficulties when attempting to merge ontologies.

- The question is not “…how do we extend UCore 2.0 to a message exchange specification standard?” Rather, the question is, “how do we extend UCore 2.0 to the Entities and Events in the C2 Domain?” How do we extend UCore 2.0 to the Operations Process or to the OODA Loop?
