* Observations / Lessons learned: {nid 35D4}
** UML to OWL is a common requirement for legacy systems {nid 35D5}
*** Need better tools to help interpret legacy systems, transform into semantic systems. {nid 35D6}
*** Starting from scratch is rare. {nid 35D7}
** Ontology patterns are very helpful, and encourage model reuse {nid 35D8}
** Look for the 80-20 rule of semantic development {nid 35D9}
** Semantic techniques work best when not compromised by implementation tradeoffs {nid 35DA}
** Semantic methods are faster to implement and easier to maintain {nid 35DB}
** {nid 35DC}
** Semantic approaches particularly suited to systems with many complex constraints, rules, laws, with frequent changes {nid 35DD}

* Needs: {nid 35DE}
** Need better standards for common elements: {nid 35DF}
*** Datatypes (Are xsd types enough? I think not) {nid 35DG}
*** Ontology patterns (e.g. whole/part patterns) {nid 35DH}
*** Collect ontological primitives from observation data {nid 35DI}
** Need repositories (When is OOR going to be ready for production use?) {nid 35DJ}
*** Repositories of ontological patterns could be more useful than repositories of ontologies {nid 35DK}
** Need industrial strength semantic services resident in the cloud {nid 35DL}
** Need better visualization tools and approaches {nid 35DM}
