What exactly do you mean by 'using against' here? 
If you want a tool that can input unstructured 
text input and output a formal structured 
ontology representing the same information, then 
no such tool exists or will exist in the 
forseeable future. That is asking for an AI 
miracle. If anyone offers you one, ask for the 
Brooklyn Bridge instead.    (02)
