We have long discussed how ontologies make “interoperability” easier, but so far there is not one example of it.
In the oil industry at least EPISTLE and ISO 15926 have been used successfully to support interoperability between engineering systems in particular, but also other sorts of systems delivering $millions in benefits. There have been tens of such projects, not just the odd one or two.
