[Sigia-l] data as information?

Hi Eric,

I think that the old rule of thumb applies - the cat gets broader in 
direct proportion to the size of the vehicle that initially hits it, 
with an additional width growth that follows a nice bell curve for each 
subsequent vehicle :)

Seriously, I think that it is useful to apply a little OO thinking to 
this issue - we have an object 'cat' that has an instance 'cat' with 
derived characteristics. Here's another indefensible aphorism for you - 
context is as context does, and I do not want to be the first one to use 
'meta-context' (the context description of the individual contexts) in 
this discussion :)

Best regards, Andrew Boyd
