| - | You only have to look at one small UK Web site claiming "we now offer our customers a choice from over 2,500 stocked product lines" [http://www.hypexuk.com/].There is little or no evidence to suggest a reuse of information assets including lists of product categories and descriptions – unless the companies form part of an overall ecosystem e.g. retailer-wholesaler-manufacturer.The approach to an ontology was formally attempted in late 1950s by Wroe Alderson.He added to the body of marketing knowledge by creating a tremendously wide and varying ontology to support marketing. Unfortunately, his work was found by most students to be far more complicated than understanding the 4Ps of marketing which had at that time started to take a hold and it seems will remain with marketing folks forever.

| - | The originators of this wiki eminate from both academia and business and see tremedous opportunity for a marketing ontology. The aim is to use this environment to present findings publicly and at marketing conferences to create a groundswell interest in a marketing ontology. Likewise, the users and contributors to this wiki are encouraged to get the word out whether it be through conference papers, word of mouth or quiet simply in the workplace or classroom.
