In their framework for ontological analysis, Guarino and Weltyprovide a number of insights that are useful for guiding the designof taxonomic hierarchies. However, the formal statements of theseinsights as logical schemata are flawed in a number of ways,including inconsistent notation that makes the intended semanticsof the logic unclear, false claims of logical consequence, anddefinitions that provably result in the triviality of some of theirproperty features. This paper makes a negative contribution, bydemonstrating these flaws in a rigorous way, but also makes apositive contribution wherever possible, by identifying theunderlying intuitions that the faulty definitions were intended tocapture, and attempting to formalize those intuitions in a moreaccurate way.
