Dear Aldo, Yes, I am beginning to realise that it is not semantics that we are selling, but the ability to manage semantics.

Subject: Re: [ontology-summit] [strategy] Blank Stares and Semantic Technology: A Semantic Evangelist's ToolKit Nice slides indeed Mike: clear and catchy. A quick comment: what you refer as semantic technologies, in terms of impact, actual implementation, and companies, is actually a mixture of (semantic) web, knowledge engineering, databases, and natural language processing. Ontologies per se cannot do much: we need to keep that in mind when selling ontologies, because the hard field work is mostly in integrating data, components and methods. A possible good point is in making it clear that ontologies act as "hubs" for those components and methods, specially when they are carefully designed. On 11 Mar 2011, at 16:33, Duane Nickull wrote:
Thank you Michael! Like all the other slides, this is very timely and very much appreciated.

It is based on a talk I gave at the Taxonomy Bootcamp November 2010 called: "Semantic Web: Down to Business". I was asked to talk about the semantic web, but it could equally be titled: "Ontologies and Semantic Technology: Down to Business" since it has little to do with the semantic web per se.
I introduce the idea of semantic technology, give examples of how to express meaning, and also some industrial applications.

That is a well written introduction for somebody who wants to know what
an ontology is and how to create it. But it doesn't say anything about
how an ontology is used in any practical application.
If we want to sell the idea of ontology to IT managers, we have to show
them how ontologies can be connected to *their* software in order to
solve *their* problems.
