    Agreed. That paper is well worth a read. Get down through
    section 2.1, at a minimum. It contains a great collection
    of notation mechanisms for all the things you really need
    to represent when constructing an ontology.

      Note:
      When drawing on the board, I plan to continue using
      bubbles. (They're easier.) But rectangles have a lot
      of advantages in an electronic medium:
        * They're easy to do
        * Even rudimentary diagramming tools support them
        * The provide the maximum amount of space for text
        * They "stack well" when a diagram begins getting
          complex.

    BTW:
      SmartDraw is a minimally-expensive shareware drawing tool
      that does a bang-up job with UML diagrams, among other
      things.
