yes, I like the 'big picture' ideas that were emerging from our conversations...sort of a metaanalysis of an entire collection of ontologies - both for governance support and in some ways even a metric of the collection as a whole...
for example, overlap in terms (as a percentage of the total terms) gives an idea of the relatedness of ontologies and the work needed to make them fully orthogonal
numbers of imports would tell how influential particular ontologies are in a collection
other metrics could be the same as for a single ontology, just summed over the whole collection, like:
total ontologies
total terms
total definitions
total synonyms
total relationships
etc

Not as an endpoint that can be queried directly, but it sounds like that
relates in part to the Venn diagram idea.
