Hi Alexander: Your tool is a nice idea, but ... 1. Ontologies are not just specification documents available somewhere on the Web, but the combination of such a specification and an ecosystem/community. Searching for an ontology without considering the ecosystems of candidate matches makes no sense. It's like Google without PageRank and random ordering of results. 2. Trying your tool for "blog entry" or "post" does not yield SIOC, "person" does not yield FOAF, and neither "product" nor "store" points to GoodRelations. To be frank, I think your tool does currently more harm than good (same as many other premature ontology search tools), because they send potential adopters of semantic technology into the completely wrong direction.
