Hi Megan,
Here's a recap of several I've said along the way that I hope are close to what you want.
regards/jmc
1. how can we make the content itself (i.e., semantic web ontologies) more reusable?
a. All object property definitions should conform to
(verb/preposition-oriented) predicator guidelines
b. All object property definitions should reference (some)
pairwise replacement for rdfs:domain/rdfs:range attributes
2. What kinds of best practices should be adopted (specifically, with respect to the non-functional attributes of ontology design)?
a. All normative identifiers of ontology components
should have separate IRIs whose resources point to that identified
b. All multi-lingual labels of ontology components should have
separate IRIs whose resources point to that identified
c. All ontology classes/properties should be related to other,
published classes/properties
d. All ontology components should be defined in language(s)
recommended by the United Nations
3. What sort of metadata is the most useful when identifying a suitable ontology for reuse?
a. All ontologies should be classified per a published
Ontolog Ontology of Ontologies (O3)

Hi All,
While I do not wish to overshadow all of the dialogue that has taken
place since Andrea's initial email, I do have a comment to make that
is more specific to the original question of reusable content on the
Semantic Web.
I think an important focus to incorporate for Track A relating to the
topic of reusable content on the semantic web might be: how can we
make the content itself (i.e., semantic web ontologies) more reusable?
- What kinds of best practices should be adopted (specifically, with
respect to the non-functional attributes of ontology design)?
- What sort of metadata is the most useful when identifying a

These questions take a slightly different perspective than many of
those that have been posed so far, which seem more content-oriented to
me. Despite this, I think they are also key questions that can serve
to better inform the challenges in the scope this track. Further, I
think that it is quite feasible that we might obtain a satisfactory
consensus/collection of answers to these question during this year's
summit, from the collective experiences of the participants.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
Megan

Other important questions in the "reusable content" arena are how to
ascertain and improve the amount of reuse.
It "seems" that reuse is low, but there are many sites offering reusable
content and therefore many opportunities for reuse. For example, in the
Ontology Design Pattern (ODP) space, there are:
- W3C'S Ontology Engineering and Patterns Task Force (OEP) [1]
- Ontology Design Patterns org wiki [2]
- ODP Public Catalog [3]
In addition, there are foundational ontologies available, as discussed in
the Upper Ontology Summit (2006) [4], as well as domain ontologies like
FIBO.
So, does the wealth of information contradict the perception?
Or, is content present but it is just very difficult to use/re-use?
Perhaps we need to refine our engineering approaches and abilities to better
find and evaluate reusable content? This is discussed in a paper by María
Poveda-Villalón, Mari Carmen Suárez-Figueroa and Asunción Gómez-Pérez
[5] that I found quite interesting.
I personally would love to see a review and recommendation system put in
place for ontologies, patterns, linked data models, etc. Is this something
that we could achieve?
