But various people involved with these ontology projects have
been debating, analyzing, building, examining, and studying
ontologies, applications of ontologies, and requirements for
sharing and reusing them for over 20 years.
The SUO project and mailing list was started in 2000, and
there seems to be a consensus that a registry/repository
system would be a useful product. We have some vague
proposals along those lines, and the time seems ripe for
developing them further.
