Project Objectives Develop methodology and toolkit supporting Web based ontological engineering: • Language architecture • Ontology language design and standardisation • Technical infrastructure • Component based architecture and uniform API • Foundational ontologies • Ontology library and design methodologies • Ontological engineering methodologies • Versioning and modularisation frameworks
January 2003 Highlights • OWL language development—OWL about to achieve W3C candidate recommendation status • KAON server prototype • Range of tools and services including OilEd, LiFT etc. • Ontology roadmap and DOLCE reference module • OntoView versioning system and WonderWeb change ontology • Demonstration using ontology development scenario to illustrate interactions between different WPs/components
Foundationalontology Legacy DB Schema, XML Schema,UML Spec Lifting RDF Ontology DAML+OIL Ontology DAML+OIL Ontology Refinement Alignment Versioning Demo Scenario (Jan 2003) FaCT OntoDiff Change report
January 2004 Highlights • OWL now a fully fledged W3C standard (Feb 10, 2004) • Pioneering work on OWL rule and query languages • Extended library of foundational and domain ontologies • Review of design methodologies and quality criteria • Formal framework representing & reasoning with modular ontologies • Change management extended to distributed ontologies • KAON server and OWL API integrate range of components • OilEd, Sesame, FaCT, Racer, LiFT, … • New FaCT++ inference engine
