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

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)

Challenges people to say what they mean and mean what they say. Seen as
personal threat rather than fit for purpose. (03)
