Informal Ontology Explanation 
 Used to structure knowledge 
 Facilitates interoperability 
 Formal explicit shared 
conceptualisation of a domain 
 A set of concepts, relationships 
and individuals over which 
there is an agreed consensus

Conclusions (1/2) 
www.sti2.org 
In its current state the Semantic Web/Web 
of Data facilitates the re-use of ontologies 
and data 
 Other problems arise associated with 
ontology and data quality, adapting/ 
aligning ontologies and data  
 Good SW/LD practitioners know online 
ontologies and datasets as a good 
researcher knows the related literature 
Be Lazy
Conclusions (2/2) 
www.sti2.org 
Releasing ontologies and data 
 Provides a community benefit for 
expected and unexpected uses 
 Can increase the value of the released 
artifacts 
 May be obligated depending on context 
(e.g. if paid for by public funding) 
 Has associated issues related to 
training, quality, privacy, 
maintenance. 
Be kind and 
share
