Either implicit or explicit, every application has it's own
"conceptualization" of a domain of interest. Surely, only in few cases
these conceptualizations are made explicit.

True. The difficulty is if there is no explicit ontology or schema for a
given application, then there is nothing that can be mapped TO a common
UO. Hence, what is the value of a UO in this case? (05)
