I know of no one that has proposed that catalog as an upper ontology – for this reason - was created to locate books. Oh wait, that’s its chief fault you say! There is no reason that an ontology cannot evolve, or be generated out of data. No ontology need be permanent, or global. All the benefits of tagsonomies you promote could be obtained with personal, evolving, flexible ontologies. Rarely is an ontology created to predict the future, rather most are created after examining the past and the world. They tend to emerge from data by human reason. The longest lasting ones are exactly those that are based on the most careful examination of phenomena, such as Newtonian Mechanics, and are extremely useful. Nothing in your recent statements says anything about ontologies really, except to point out the need for evolving, flexible, automatically maintained and merged personal ontologies. http://kashori.com Comparing ontology in general to the Library of Congress catalog is like saying cars are no good by examining the predecessors of the Model A.
