Obscure?
When the marketplace is buzzing with "making innovation happen" why should
ontologists focus only on describing archeological digs?
Conceptual modeling is also called designing.
Perhaps this highlights this group's obsession with ontology whereas many of
the benefits come from the group therapy of ontology development. (01)
The capability most lacking in society is Foresight. If ontology development
and ontology based activities can foster foresight then the market size is
tremendous. (02)
