We've covered what ontology is and how to think about it. But perhaps the most important question hasn't been answered: how do you know if ontology is worth using? When can you get value out of an ontology? In this video, Casey lays out three major signs/symptoms that ontology is right for you. You should consider an ontology if you really value understanding, reusability, and explainability.
Honorable mentions that didn't hit the top three:
* Reasoning
* LLM Shortcomings
* Expertise Matters
* You need a controlled vocabulary or to standardize terms
* You want to iteratively improve your organization's knowledge
Also, I reference this part of the Three Metaphors video: https://youtu.be/w9s16ICbndg?si=UG3HgwJFCDXnBfJM&t=370
