That point is especially important for ontologies, for which we
have an overabundance of examples of varying levels of quality.
But there is no single example (or even a small number of
examples) for which there is solid support and consensus. (04)
That is why many of us have proposed a registry and/or repository
of all reasonable alternatives. The most useful standards for
such a registry would specify the kinds of metadata that should
be included to relate the ontologies and indicate how they
have been and/or are intended to be used. (05)
