Why should your ontology be useless. In general, an ontology has the purpose to create a kind of "shared meaning" or "shared understanding" (see, e.g., [1,2]). If you follow, for example, some best practises for publishing Semantic Web vocabularies (see, e.g., [3]), you make these descriptions accessible (and machine-processable) for everyone. So your ontology won't be useless at all. It is then integrated in the Web ecosystem. Using existing is from my point of view the better choice, since one can re-use existing knowledge. The added value on this approach should be higher than on an automatically generated mapping file with a non-established (because freshly created) ontology.
