Hi Folks,
I would like to suggest that if folks are seriously interested in pursuing the notion of moving CF Ontologies forward, then they register the idea with the ongoing Google Summer of Code efforts taking place at ESIP [0].
We already have issues registered for SWEET Ontology Alignments and improvements to the ESIP Community Ontology Repository. I see no reason we couldn't work as a community on advancing this at Google's expense for the benefit of ESIP and the CF community.
If you are interested, either let me know here, personally or simply log the issue and describe what you think such an effort would look like.
As I mentioned previously, there is already tooling available for generating RDF representations of the CF standard names [2]. I would see this as the first step in building richer semantics around existing CF resources.

Dear Chris
The web page to which I gave a link writes down the rules for constructing the
standard names (of some years ago, but presumably it could be updated). This
would help with some new standard name proposals, which use existing patterns
and vocabulary, or existing patterns with new vocabulary that obviously fits.
The more difficult proposals, which involve most thinking, involve new concepts
and patterns.
Best wishes
Jonathan
