Are you saying you're using the UML to create ontologies?  Wow. What
does this look like? Are you drawing diagrams that show things like the
word 'purchase' extends 'widget buying' which inherits 'revenue
generation' or something?

This sounds incredibly cool - but I would think that having to explain
the UML to other (non technical) every time you show them diagrams might
be a bit of a downer.
