I would say that 80% of the RDF/OWL ontologies lingering somewhere
on the web are examples.
Such a violation of Sturgeon's Law[1] would be cause for much
rejoicing!
Yes, I was actually thinking about 90% first, but then the OBO
Foundry ontologies are becoming more widespread (and do not have
this issue), and DBpedia shows some awareness of these issues, too...
I'd be interested in doing a survey on this to determine how
widespread the problem really is. Is there a reasonable corpus that
approximates your experience?
That was my experience when using the entire web as a corpus, i.e.,
searching for existing ontologies for a certain use-case via
Swoogle, Sindice etc.
Sorry, I mean a well defined corpus, i.e., a specific set of ontologies.
To replicate your actual corpus, I would need the use-case and the
query in question, though I'd rather have the results directly as well.
