According to Tim-Berners Lee, the inventor of the WWW, a semantic Web in which software agents find meanings of terms that describe tasks it performs is the next progression of the Web. Ontologies as repositories of these machine interpretable meanings are key to his vision. However, ontologies are distributed and not, and will likely never, be centrally organized. Enabling agents to find the right meanings then is an important challenge for realizing the semantic Web. As ontologies evolve, they will likely form in clusters exhibiting small-world effects, just like web pages. In this paper, questions about bring to bear findings from social network analysis to the design of these ontologies are raised.
