Will Your Ontology Investment Survive the Next LLM Upgrade? A Portability Checklist

As large language models improve, enterprises must distinguish between obsolete manual ontology tasks and enduring business semantics—definitions, rules, mappings, evidence, and test cases—that should be decoupled from platforms and validated through disengagement drills to avoid vendor lock-in and ensure portable, verifiable knowledge assets.
