[ontolog-forum] what wisdom would you impart?

[Ray Martin <marsaviator@xxxxxxxxx>]

Passing through your favorite little coffee shop, you see a RE-USER sipping coffee and scratching on a napkin.  The napkin contains several use cases and a diagram like the attached.

From your expert position and experience, what few words of wisdom would you provide to the re-user?

There are decades of articles, ideas, and theories.  There are examples coded for various pieces.  There are great open source projects that have answers to parts of the attached diagram.

(Note: this is NOT a funded project. it is merely a learning experience for the re-user.)

How does one build quality integrable ontology utilizing excellent efforts that have gone before?  where are the starting points? where are the pitfalls?
