 Throughout its history, homepathy has accumulated a great amount of knowledge about medicinal properties of various substances -– ranging tens of thousands of pages. This knowledge is the basis of homeopathic prescribing,​ providing indications and characteristics for homeopathic remedy selection. Unfortunately,​ this knowledge remains largely unused as there are no effective tools (to date) that would make this massive amount of knowledge accessible to a homeopath. Throughout its history, homepathy has accumulated a great amount of knowledge about medicinal properties of various substances -– ranging tens of thousands of pages.

 In addition, the ontological net and the manner in which the symptoms are stored allows for use of artificial intelligence,​ data mining and expert systems algorithms which could greatly facilitate homeopath'​s job by suggesting specific questions to be asked, evaluating and justifying the selection of remedies and more. In addition, the ontological net and the manner in which the symptoms are stored allows for use of artificial intelligence,​ data mining and expert systems algorithms which could greatly facilitate homeopath'​s job by suggesting specific questions to be asked, evaluating and justifying the selection of remedies and more.

 Further optional development ONTNET would consist of working on improving the integrity and relationships of ONTNET points with the aim of improving the total usability of the object repertory. In theory, this work is indefinite, therefore the range of such work can only be considered in face of practical considerations and when such point of the project development is reached. Further optional development ONTNET would consist of working on improving the integrity and relationships of ONTNET points with the aim of improving the total usability of the object repertory.
