Yes, sorry, maybe my interpretation was a bit harsh. However, please 
keep in mind:

"We notice that most ontologies and Web vocabularies, especially the 
most popular ones, are developed by academic researchers (FOAF, SIOC, 
Good Relations, Music Ontology, etc.)" (cited from [1])

I guess, there are still some lurking jewels or rough diamonds out 
there. So, we have to keep or eyes and ears open, or?

Cheers,


Bob
