    Folks,
       I thought I might give a list of existing ontology content in SUMO that 
    corresponds to Jerry's list.
    
    1.  Topological relations - see PositionalAttribute and subclasses
    <http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/SKB.jsp?req=SC&name=PositionalAttribute&skb=SUMO>. 
    Also see instances of SpatialRelation 
    <http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/SKB.jsp?req=SC&skb=SUMO&id=104>
    
    2.  Dimension - see LengthMeasure, AreaMeasure and other PhysicalQuantity(ies)
    <http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/SKB.jsp?req=SC&name=LengthMeasure&skb=SUMO>
    <http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/SKB.jsp?req=SC&skb=SUMO&id=377>
    <http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/SKB.jsp?req=SC&name=PhysicalQuantity&skb=SUMO>
    
    3.  Shape - see ShapeAttribute
    <http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/SKB.jsp?req=SC&name=ShapeAttribute&skb=SUMO>
    
    4.  Length, area and volume - see #2 above	
    
    5.  Latitude, longitude, elevation - see altitude
    <http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/SKB.jsp?req=SC&name=altitude&skb=SUMO>
    Latitutde and longitude seem to have been moved out into a new terrain 
    ontology that is in progress.  I'll let folks know when it's posted.
    
    6.  Political subdivisions - see GeopoliticalArea
    <http://ontology.teknowledge.com:8080/rsigma/SKB.jsp?req=SC&name=GeopoliticalArea&skb=SUMO>
    
    The main SUMO site is <http://ontology.teknowledge.com>.  You can get the 
    latest source at 
    <http://ontology.teknowledge.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SUO/Merge.txt>.  We 
    have a more detailed terrain ontology (and a new version is coming this 
    week), at 
    <http://einstein.teknowledge.com:8080/TerrainOnt/TerrainOnt_register.jsp?fileType=.tar&fileName=Terrain.tar>. 
    We need to update our DAML version of SUMO, but the current DAML version, 
    corresponding to an earlier version of SUMO, is at 
    <http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.daml>
