Devorah's concerns are valid but perhaps overstated.
The semantic web ecosystem is mature. Open source reasoners exist. Triple stores are available as services. The infrastructure is not hypothetical.
As for maintenance: ontologies are designed to evolve. Versioning is built into the model. Classes can be deprecated, properties extended, mappings created.
I am not proposing we boil the ocean. I am proposing we lay foundations that enable future capability. The simple format you are designing today forecloses possibilities you may want tomorrow.
