Purpose	Blog area for the Semantic Web Applied Ontology (SWAO) SIG of IAOA. Intended as an area to promote discussions on the subject area of the SIG, namely the convergences (and differences) between different styles and uses of ontology across the spectrum.

Welcome to the new IAOA Semantic Web Applied Ontology blog. The goal of this blog is to encourage dialog about ontologies, their uses (and misuses), their application in various areas such as Big Data, and more.

Basically, any question, problem or ontology-related observation may be posted in order to get feedback and the insights and opinions of the experts. (And remember that the "experts" include you!)

Take a minute to contribute and come back to engage and learn. And, if you want to post to the blog (and find that you don't have the privilege), please email either: mbennett [at] hypercube dot co dot uk arwesterinen [at] gmail dot com Looking forward to the dialogs to come!
