Overview

The SWRC ontology models the semantic web research community (its researchers, topics, publications, tools, etc. and relations between them). This ontology will form the basis to annotate documents in order to enable semantic access to these documents.

• RDFS graph of the SWRC ontology generated by FRODO RDFSViz Tool

The SWRC has been modeled using the ontology engineering environment OntoEdit on the basis of the KA(2) ontology provided by the KA(2) initiative.

It's version 2001-12-11 serves as seed ontology for the OntoWeb portal. The ontology-based portal is currently developed by the Institute AIFB in cooperation with the StarLab, Brussels, Belgium. It is based on ZOPE as a technical backbone and will replace the current portal aproximately in August 2002.
