As a new comer or even as a semi-experienced LODer how do I find the ontology terms to suit my needs? I find myself often posting questions on mailing lists or the #swig IRC channel to get answers. While this is fine if you have some patience and are already commited to using these tools, I think there needs to be a more automated method. Otherwise new comers will be discouraged and turned off. That being said, I don't have an answer. -Kurt J
