Same. Alan Kay talked about this once, I have a paraphrase to hand:

"This current effort of doing term-based ontologies is a disaster. It requires too much agreement [...] I can't find anyone working on this notion of general negotiation between anything that can negotiate [...] Negotiating meaning is the problem of our time."

Do you know the source of this? I tried and failed to locate it. I would be really interested to watch this talk.

If you can't find it, you will at least find some other amazing material
