Why do you think this is a distinction? Most
ontologies created so far are formal and many of
them are applied. (02)

No, as opposed to informal. (04)

? In what way exactly? (06)

May I first ask some meta-questions. (08)
1. Why do you think there are useful definitions
for terminology like "applied ontology"? Why
would you expect to find anything more sensible
than "an ontology which has been applied to a
task"? This meaning can be extracted from the
phrase by an English speaker without even knowing
what an ontology is. (09)
2. What is the point of making such a glossary? (010)
