Link/integrate with Platform ontology?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Description of the issue

Do we need/want/should integrate with the MMI Platform ontology?

In principle, I'd say, we should.  However, I'm not sure about the
structure of the platform ontology in particular regarding concepts that we
already have in DevOnt. Perhaps harmonization would be necessary, implying
updates to the platform ontology as well.

Please provide any relevant information/links below

I quickly glanced over the platform ontology using Protege 4. It does have an
Instrument class with subclasses Sensor and Sample.  Instrument's usage shows a
connection between Instrument and Platform:

Platform isBaseConnectionOf [Instrument or Platform]

See attached screenshot.

I also generated a diagram for the platform ontology:

Thoughts?
