automation of the still largely manual creation of ontological

After all, I associate bonnets with babies - not with
cars. A semantic search engine based on automated ontologies is more
likely to entirely miss what I'm actually looking for.
Nothing too deep here, but one of the other interesting tidbits from
that Wolfram interview I cited previously was that they use GeoIP as
part of their parsing: this was specifically described in the context
of "rabbits: pets or food" and the goal of not shocking Americans by
assuming nutritional information while recognizing that in much of the
world, bunnies are for eating.
But really, is Geowanking the place for a big discussion of ontology
and semantic web theory? Especially in the context of pre-released
software?
