Once an object taxonomy has been defined, how often does one need to
change that information ?  Is it reasonable to say that this 
information is equivalent to the schema information in 
relational datbases and thus will be hardly updated ?  

If the updates are required should they be on-line or off-line ?  
How frequent are the updates ?  What are the good examples of such updates ?
Should they be done one at a time or should be permmitted concurrently ?


Your reactions on any of these questions will be highly appreciated.
