With shared ontolgies it strikes me that a given service is likly only to be definatve w.r.t a set of properties and a set of instances. This is certainly true for our project personnel stuff, where the query service at Southampton is be definative for instances that meet certain crteria eg. (<place:Southampton> <ex:hasEmployee> ?inst), but not others. This more or less echos what Andy just said, except that sometimes the definative areas covered by one store/db can be defined ontologically. - Steve
