Do you really mean ALL? (03)
I guess the truth of the statement depends on how you define "applied
ontology". (04)
Almost all the real-world applications of ontologies I am aware of (in
bioinformatics) are in the realm of data mining. The extant work is
largely done - for better or for worse - using techniques and tools
developed by stats and probabilistic modeling savvy folks who wouldn't
know a modus ponens from a modus tollens. (05)
