I've proposed how "idea" and "meme" fit together, and formulated a data model.

Maybe my proposal was a bit more concrete than what people on this forum normally want?

thanks - john

Are we to assume that those who use the term "meme" are fadish, overly 
poetic or oafish? My approach is to reserve opinion on this issue and 
focus on the use of the term. I do see merit in Dennett's analogy to 
viruses. His metaphor does overlap with "popularity", which does not 
capture the full effect of "meme". I give the group an adequate, passing 
grade in Ontology101 in this case. In my view we still have a lot to do 
in the development of the ontological practice.
