I think we're interested in something that goes further up a to a top 
level of culture and then comes down into various fields. Ill spark up a 
conversation with the Variable Media people like Jon Ippolito and see 
what comes out of this, or the Guardian people who I met someone from 
recently after the Culture Hack Day show-n-tell and said they had some 
ontologies they'd been putting together.

Maybe the Variable Media question is a model but as yet a little 
specialised and complicated for users
