Re: indoor / interior ontology

Hi Alexander:

Your tool is a nice idea, but ...

1. Ontologies are not just specification documents available somewhere  
on the Web, but the combination of such a specification and an  
ecosystem/community. Searching for an ontology without considering the  
ecosystems of candidate matches makes no sense. It's like Google  
without PageRank and random ordering of results.

2. Trying your tool for "blog entry" or "post" does not yield SIOC,  
"person" does not yield FOAF, and neither "product" nor "store" points  
to GoodRelations.

To be frank, I think your tool does currently more harm than good  
(same as many other premature ontology search tools), because they  
send potential adopters of semantic technology into the completely  
wrong direction.

Best

Martin
