NeOnLifecycle Support for Networked Ontologies Caterina Caracciolo, Marta Iglesias, Johannes Keizer, Gauri Salokhe, Margherita Sini, Yves Jaques NeOn team @FAO 8th AOS Workshop - Rome, 21-22 Sept. 2007 Session II: Ontology engineering
Overview • Presentation of NeOn • NeOn consortium • Workpackages in NeOn • NeOn deliverables: the NeOn toolkit • Requirements for the toolkit
About NeOn • NeOn = Lifecycle Support for Networked Ontologies • Sixth Framework (EC) project • obtained the best ranking on Priority 2: "Information Society Technologies” • 14.7 mil Euros granted by the EC for the 4-year project
NeOn Project goals • to create an open infrastructure with cost-efficient solutions, oriented to users • to support the creation and maintenance of ontologies for semantic applications • to build a community of users for projects à la NeOn
The NeOn consortium • International or non-profit organizations: • FAO KIN laboratories (fisheries) (pharmacy) Case studies • Industry: • Software AG, Atos Origin • Intelligent Software Components, • Ontoprise GmbH Software development • Academic and research: • Open University, U Sheffield (UK) • U Karlsruhe, U Koblenz-Landau (DE) • Politécnica de Madrid (ES) • JSI (Slovenia), INRIA (FR), CNR (IT) Research
Major NeOn deliverables • A genericreference architecture • for integrating ontology lifecycle components • The NeOn methodology • for the development of semantic applications à-la NeOn • The NeOn toolkit • a new generation of ontology management tools
NeOn toolkit - Requirements • Single ontologies development • creation and population from existing resources • maintenance (workflow) • annotation • visualization, browsing • search • multilingual aspects • format conversion
fish lives in water area species water areas NeOn toolkit – Requirements cont’d • Support for ontologies in a network • mapping between ontologies • modularization to enhance efficiency • visualization • of multiple ontologies, mapped, with modules
