Right, this is exactly what I was thinking. A feature factory that 
creates ontology-compliant features will also probably need to have 
something like an OntologyTermResolver, in order to check a given 
feature type (primary_tag) against an ontology that sits somewhere 
(local file, local database, remote database, or even remote file).
