To answer that, we need realistic examples.  People keep talking about
"use cases", but their cases are more often a wish than a reality.    (05)

Suggestion:  We should gather a list of *successful* cases or,
more specifically, *deployed* systems that implement an ontology
that is in daily use for mission-critical applications.    (06)

If we had such a list (with URLs for detailed documentation), we
could analyze them to determine the criteria that distinguish
practical applications of ontology from wishful thinking.    (07)
