Sayer’s third principle is minimal obsolescence, or ‘reducing turnover of technologies, standards, and formats to increase reuse and decrease waste/discards’. Sort of self explanatory, but consider how many ontologies were developed a decade ago and how many of them are still in use. We can think of dead ontologies as not only a type of waste, but also as a type of noise that can confuse the landscape for those trying to figure out what is still being maintained.
