Abstract

Making the Semantic Web a reality demands more and better ontologies. Yet, building ontologies is inherently a social process constrainedby technical, social, economic, and legal bottlenecks. That means that researchers must bring the same interest they do to purelytechnical issues to addressing the other challenges reality imposes on ontology projects.
