Pat and others,    (01)

        Would you agree the Semantic Web approach to data interoperability 
shows great promise, but is not ready for large organizations to implement as a 
solution for data sharing across their many domains?      (02)

I don't think its ever been tried in a
small-scale setting. All the Sweb ontologies are on the actual Web, for which 
there is no laboratory as such. Of course, there are many that nobody else 
uses, or were built as toy demonstrations, etc..    (06)

The best application/POC demo Ive seen of the approach is the FOAF project.    (07)
