You are correct, I should have used org:FormalOrganization (the superset).  As 
usual with Chaos, the first thing people want to know is: where is it ?  Find 
the Butterfly and prevent the Tornado (or encourage the Pandemic). The 
Commerce-Only Model (Butterflies sold here) does not explain the Weather, which 
is nonetheless "owned" by the Community (or Government).

Meta data has elements, not Weather, Organizations should not take that 
"personally".  <foaf:Person>I</foaf:Person> recently bought a new Air 
Conditioner since the "30F for Sale Cheap" sign didn't seem to be working.  
Lots of competition from the neighbors in N. Texas :)

Another way to put it might be that the Semantic Web uses agile programming 
methods to approximate the goal of simplicity in knowledge transfer (minimum 
number of meta data elements).
