An ontology is a relationship to the world. Most OOP heirarchies are ad hoc and not epistemologically sound nor metaphysically complete, hence the need to constantly tear-down when used in other contexts (like someone else's code) due to this: they were never quite right to begin with.
The ontology of the system has to be considered 1/4 of the total system, along with the software design, hardware design, and UI design. The ontology is what allows all data to relate to all other data, so that you can have perfect sharing and re-useability.
So, you may ask, how does one form such an "epistemologically sound and metaphysically complete" system?
- First, one must know the nature of data (the first-fold truth).
- Second, one must know that all data relates to other data (the secondfold truth).
- Third, one must understand that everything has a perfect place in the universe, where it can acquiesce and call itself "home" -- otherwise it would be dead or non-existent (the third-fold truth).
