I'm one of those folks – trust (in this sense) is dependent on
provenance. But what it gives you is a tool to identify what is
bad. It does not give you a tool to identify what is good, except in
a private sense. What is good, for example for a large enterprise
with limited resources to spend getting their information in order,
may very well be another matter. Thus trust (again in this sense) is
not a sufficient condition for ontology quality. (03)
