Building Global Ontologies
Practical RDF: "Michelangelo was recorded as having said: My work is simple. I cut away layer after layer of marble until I uncover the figure encased within.
To the Semantic Web people there is no issue about building a global ontology - it already exists on the web today. Bit by bit of it is uncovered every time we implement yet another component of the model using a common, shared semantic model and language. There never was a suggestion that all metadata work cease and desist as we sit down on some mountaintop somewhere and fully derive the model before allowing the world to proceed."
