Abstract
The Texo use case in the THESEUS research program offers technology and solutions for service marketplaces addressing in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which profit most from a standardized and open platform with out-of-the-box functionality. ontoprise, a leading company in semantic technologies since 1999, contributed the Texo semantic infrastructure as a collaborative development and runtime environment for the Service Ontology. By providing the Texo partners with a continually improved semantic infrastructure, we learned about the chances and challenges of using semantic technologies in the Internet of Services. As an illustrative example for the advantages of these semantic technologies in a B2B context, we present a proof of concept for an ontology-based recommendation system, which relies on the semantic infrastructure, and includes enhanced data integration support.
As of June 28, 2012, SemEO Services GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany has acquired all intellectual property rights (IPRs) from ontoprise, in particular for OntoBroker, OntoStudio and other products and software mentioned in this article. The business activities of ontoprise will be continued by semafora systems GmbH, Darmstadt, as licensed by SemEO.
