-1, except for the word "comprehensibility" (as long as you include non
philosophers, ontologists, etc in that target audience). (01)
Engineering-led projects without architects may perform great on their
own, but they often suck when it comes to being understood by anyone
other than the original designers or fitting in with anything else. An
ontology development without any desire for, or perspective towards,
interoperability - with anyone beyond their own territory - is likely to
be abstract, academic, hot-air: you may as well just hand everything
back to the programmers of old and let them grok everything using
variables in their preferred programming language... (02)
I'm not convinced there is yet even a partial reply to my original post
starting this thread: (03)
" My frustration with many of the threads on this list (and the Summit
list - although I admit that I'm no longer sure what goes where...) is
that there seems to be a lot of discussion over detail - of how to model
this, or how to present that - and not enough to the bigger pictures:
who should be involved in ontology development? What qualifies them and
how can you judge? How do you start to develop an ontology? Should you?
How do you introduce quality control? Who decides? Where's the process
when you need one?" (04)
Any answers on *these* questions? ;-) (05)
Regards, (06)

+1. Should be written in pokerwork and hung over the entry door of
every Ontology Engineering Laboratory :-) (010)
