When I posted to this list a while ago to try to resolve frustration in this area (finding ontologies on a given subject), the feedback was pretty disappointing. (Essentially, 'there is no good way to have a good chance of finding existing ontologies on a given topic'. Though there are of course multiple not-quite-satisfying ways.) The Falcon URL, recently posted, seems much more gratifying (with respect to the goal of finding relevant ontologies) than the suggestions made up to that point. In the end the recipe still seems likely to be multi-step, but as long as there *is* a recipe that's pretty good.
