[ppy] as far as "what is an Ontology" is concerned, the community has
spent a lot of effort on it already (over the years). In particular,
by way of the intensive discussions over the previous Ontology
Summits.  (02)
I would, therefore, draw everyone's attention to the proceedings of
OntologySummit2007 - "Ontology, Taxonomy, Folksonomy: Understanding
the Distinctions" - see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007  (03)
Two write-ups of particular interest are:  (04)
- the Communique from OntologySummit2007 -
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2007_Communique  (05)
- for the lay people, please take a look at "What are Ontologies" by
AliHashemi et al. published on the OntologySummit2012 website -
