Managing Ontology Lifecycles in Corporate Settings

  • Chapter
Networked Knowledge - Networked Media

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 221))

Abstract

Corporate Semantic Web describes the application of semantic technologies within enterprises for better knowledge management or enhanced IT service management. But, well-known cost- and process-oriented problems of ontology engineering hinder the employment of ontologies as a flexible, scalable, and cost effective means for integrating data in small and mid-sized enterprises.We propose an innovative ontology lifecycle, examine existing tools towards the functional requirements of the lifecycle phases, and propose the vision of an architecture supporting them integratively.
