The Web of Linked Data is fork friendly due to it being inherently 
"horses for courses" compliant. Just make your own ontology and hook 
into relevant bits of relevant third party ontologies, when modelling a 
specific world view.

The biggest misconception we have re. the Semantic Web is the notion of 
a golden ontology. There's no such thing as perfect data and as a result 
there can never be a perfect ontology.

Building and using an ontology is the quickest part to ironing out 
quirks. It trumps mailing list debates any day.

Everything on the Web ultimately speaks for itself via adoption :-)
