Ontologists, do you eat your own dogfood?
EEK again: "In general, I've found that ontologists are very poor at explaining what an ontology is. This is somewhat ironic, given that ontologies are supposed to clarify meaning in ways that a simple glossary can not."

And then, just the kind of thing you'd expect Doug Engelbart to say.

He often asked, "How does the ontology community use ontologies?" If ontologies were so crucial to effective collaboration, then surely the ontology community used ontologies when collaborating with each other. Sadly, nobody ever answered his question.

Well, the Ontoweb ontology seems to be a first stab in that direction, thogh at the moment it appears as little more than a glorified directory.

Scott and Helen Are Married
Getting married is a big deal. But I think Scott and Helen may have gone a bit overboard when they set up an official web site for their marriage.

Just a bit overboard... themarriage.co.uk.... no kidding!
