I thought it was a little naive to say the least. The five part process that is
suggested for creating an ontology hides at least a personyear of effort under
each of the five!!

Apropos, the discussion recently here on scaling up (from an ontology on wine...)
is hightly relevant ot the material in this XML item.

I think, as an Information Proferssional, we need to explain/illustrate ot non
InfoPros that taxonomy/ontology/wordlist/thesaurus building and the like is not
trivial.
