Colleagues,    (01)

I just received a query from the folks at Gartner asking what percentage of 
large corporations and government agencies currently are making some use of 
ontologies in either a research or production context.      (02)

I am interested in learning your thoughts about an answer and welcome 
contributions from other members of the Ontolog community.    (03)

Thanks,     (04)
