This system builds upon the work of semantic desktop systems such as Gnowsis and Haystack, exploring the ways that ontological information may be integrated into an existing desktop environment. The major contribution of this work is the introduction of the idea of ‘reflections’ between information models as a formal basis for integrating a shared information system with existing applications. The success of this work is intended to be judged by its ease of use for developers, the completeness of the model reflection and its efficiency. According to these criteria the design implemented may be judged a partial success, achieving an easy-to-use reflection which is practically too slow to use in general purpose systems. The work does, however, suggest means to improve this in future systems in order to bring about a fully-integrated, evolutionary semantic desktop system.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/25668aeea53c496d92b8d73c1a16ede2d/jaeschke}, keywords = {dbus ontology rdf nepomuk} } @inproceedings{Staab+2000, title = {An extensible approach for Modeling Ontologies in RDF(S)}, author = {Steffen Staab and Michael Erdmann and Alexander Maedche and Stefan Decker}, booktitle = {Proc. of First Workshop on the Semantic Web at the Fourth European Conference International Workshop on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries, Lisbon, Portugal 18-20 September 2000}, month = {SEP}, year = 2000, url = {\url{http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/WBS/Publ/2000/ecdl-sstetal.pdf}}, abstract = {RDF(S)1 constitutes a newly emerging standard for metadata that is about to turn the World Wide Web into a machine-understandable knowledge base. It is an XML application that allows for the denotation of facts and schemata in a web-compatible format, building on an elaborate objectmodel for describing concepts and relations. Thus, it might turn up as a natural choice for a widely-useable ontology description language. However, its lack of capabilities for describing the semantics of concepts and relations beyond those provided by inheritance mechanisms makes it a rather weak language for even the most austere knowledge-based system. This paper presents an approach for modeling ontologies in RDF(S) that also considers axioms as objects that are describable in RDF(S). Thus, we provide flexible, extensible, and adequate means for accessing and exchanging axioms in RDF(S). Our approach follows the spirit of the World Wide Web, as we do not assume a global axiom specification language that is too intractable for one purpose and too weak for the next, but rather a methodology that allows (communities of) users to specify what axioms are interesting in their domain.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2c3860465294f655a44b1bbec190a51ad/jaeschke}, keywords = {model ontology rdfs rdf} }
