However, as both a music fan and a semweb geek I'm keen to see some killer apps in this domain. Unfortunately, I find the MO to be somewhat lacking when I apply the same kind of analysis that one would normally perform on a scientific ontology. See here for details:<br /> <br /> http://mutantphenotype.wordpress.com/2006/12/28/some-criticisms-of-the-music-ontology/<br /> <br /> In fairness many of these criticisms can be applied to much of the semantic web. Perhaps you may think that many of my points are not applicable to an ontology like MO which is not intended to have the rigor of a scientific ontology. I would disagree - I have a lot of experience with a variety of ontologies, including ontology content, data and writing applications and I would strongly recommend a more rigorous approach to semantic web resources if these are to be used and trusted more widely outside the current limited range of boutique applications.<br /> <br /> cheers<br /> chris I don’t normally comment on ontologies outside the domain I work in (science).
