Hi!

I'm changing an Ontology written for JADE 2.3 to the NEW Ontology
specification, but I have the following problem:
  
In this Ontology I have some generic predicates that have slots of the "old"
type jade.onto.Ontology.ANY_TYPE which are mapped in the implementation classes
with a Java Object. With this, I can include in those slots different types
of "concepts" that I have included in the ontology.

The problem is that in the New Ontology specification, I can't define those
predicates because in the class jade.content.onto.BasicOntology there isn't the
slot type ANY_TYPE (only strings, boolean, integer, AID... or an specific
Concept that are not mapped to a generic Java Object).

Could you explain me how to define this "generic" slots in the new Ontology in
order to include different types of "Concepts" of the ontology?

Thank you very much.
