This chapter summarises findings from CODRIVE1, a large-scale ontology project in the vocational training domain. This competency area is complex, and in order to achieve proper interoperability on the basis of ontologies, all involved stakeholders must participate in interorganisational ontology engineering. In particular, this chapter illustrates the DOGMA-MESS methodology, a community-driven approach to ontology management. It presents practical experiences for the issues addressed in the previous chapters, complementing them with illustrative data and hands-on knowledge.
