      COEL makes no distinction between section of the text which are normative, 1.1 Terminology for example and 3.1 Principles behind structuring and populating the knowledge base, which is clearly non-normative.

      By "clearly non-normative" I mean that whether I agree with the principles of 3.1 or not, I can still successfully use this standard. That is agreement or following that section isn't required for conformance.
