1. Organizing ontologies for "efficient" processing. Avoiding combinatorial 
explosion when using machines that were designed to do arithmetic, not 
categories..
2. Accommodating N different perspectives on the meaning of a term and its 
relation to other terms. Need a way of signifying "-nyms" and webs of -nyms.

Amount of Labor involved. 
Cost of IT system for moving the data and resolving the alternatives.

Discovery of new and better ways to discover, express and process ontologies. 
Most current human 'resources' are too intellectually invested in current rules 
and tools (which are not adequate).    (02)
