Social Network Semantics Ankesh

I think the paper presents a great piece of work. The idea and results are superb. However, I am skeptical on the use of the word ontology. Does the word Ontology trouble you too? Semantic web is about linking resources and documents on the web with more than just hyperlinks. The paper presents techniques to relate concepts as close (similar) and generic-specifc (subclass). It creates a thesauri and extends it with subclass relationships. To me it can be called more than just a thesauri only if it contains relations other than similarity and subclass between its concepts.
A system that supports tagging can use the ontologies of concepts to classify things better (things tagged by similar terms/ concepts can be kept together). Which other semantic web application can use the ontologies of concepts?
