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?
