[kepler-users] Adding my own ontology to the Kepler 2.3 semantic types

Hi Mike (and Sean) --

Since that email, we have released the Kepler Tagging module, which
modifies and improves how ontologie are handled in Kepler, and provides a
new user interface for working with semantic tags in Kepler.  See the
documentation on the Tagging module here:

https://kepler-project.org/users/documentation

The pdf file describing tagging does not discuss how to add new ontologies
-- I'm hoping Sean Riddle who wrote the tagging module can provide some
guidance to us.
