The application my company is deploying now has an ontology, but it's only used informatively, and we do no reasoning over it. The advantages we get from representing our data in RDF are sufficient to justify the effort without any reasoning, and its easier for developers with an SQL background to grok. I expect there is data in the store which is not described by any ontological structures. - Steve
