My take is this:
Ontologies represent information on our systems (systems being general, inclusive of but not exclusive to I.T. systems).  These are systems like information, process, rules, and services.  A primary use case for defining such systems is to collaborate with others – so that our processes, services and information work together.  We can only collaborate based on what we understand.  We can only understand what we can see, what is “published”.  The paradigm of “email publishing” is insufficient – we want to be able to connect and link systems globally, so we need a global publishing and reference system.  An ontology that is an island may be interesting, but make it part of these global systems and it is of immense value.  We need the infrastructure for these published and linked ontologies of our interconnected systems.

 

There are certainly other use cases, but that is mine and that of a few of my friends.

I'm also very interested in understanding how online ontology repositories will be used.  The OOR use-cases I've seen have been limited to repository management.  What are the application specific use cases?  I mean, why would an ontologist, software developer and/or software agent use an online ontology repository?

Does anyone have a written use case for what an ontologist would want us
to produce?
What are the problems he/she should be trying to solve when they
contemplate selecting one of our artifacts?
How will our artifacts interface with the rest of the solutions set?

Are we in a position to write the introductory chapter of the user
documentation?

Do we have a place on the wiki where these ideas can be developed?
