We believe that the enterprise ontology will become a cornerstone in many information systems in the future. In general terms, an ontology is an organization of a body of knowledge or, at least, an organization of a set of terms related to a body of know
* Development of methods, tools and applications for adaptive Knowledge Engineering in the context of the Semantic Web * Research of underlying Semantic Web technologies and development of fundamental Semantic Web tools and applications * Maturation of strategies for fruitfully combining the Social Web paradigms with semantic knowledge representation techniques
Ontologies tend to be found everywhere. They are viewed as the silver bullet for many applications, such as database integration, peer-to-peer systems, e-commerce, semantic web services, or social networks. However, in open or evolving systems, such as the semantic web, different parties would, in
Category search within digital repositories is poorly supported. This means that people wishing to access the assets of digital repositories are largely limited to keyword search, which means they must know what they want in order to look for it. Our part
OWL reasoner engines can contribute with the semantic enrichment over ontologies. The manner in which this knowledge is represented in OWL has been an obstacle to incorporate this semantic features in the object-oriented paradigms. JASB architecture pretends to be a bridge for joining this two different worlds. This platform offers a connection point in which the object instances of the object-oriented programming could have semantic features provides by mean of the reasoning processes available in OWL arena.
The architecture is composed by two clearly differenciated tools, each one is focussing on different objective.
In the logical sequence of a software development, the first tool covers the statical aspect of the inclusion of semantic features into object-oriented application. Thus, in the following picture can be seen the architecture for thisthe first tool, the JASB compiler.
