We tackle the question as to what sort of ontologies we primarily need in the biomedical domain. For this purpose, we will first provide a simple categorization of ontologies and describe an important use case related to modeling and documenting events. Then, the impact of using upper-level ontologies as a basis to address our use case will be shown in order to derive an answer to our research question. Although formal ontologies can serve as a starting point to understand conceptualization in a domain and facilitate interesting inferences, it is even more important to account for the dynamic and changing nature of knowledge. Being unconstrained by pre-defined categories and relationships can facilitate timely enrichment of a conceptual scheme and provide links and dependency structures in an informal manner. Semantic enrichment can be achieved by other mechanisms such as tagging or the creation of synsets as, for example, provided in WordNet.
