Then what's the point? I should have hoped that Semantic Web
technologies (and ontologies in particular) would have allowed me to say:
1) Here's a general concept.
2) Here's how you get there from my particular expression of that concept.
Without this, we'll never be able to automatically exchange / integrate
information, since we'll never agree on a single set of metadata for a
particular concept.
