WonderWeb: Ontology Infrastructure for the Semantic Web

We are on the brink of a new generation of World Wide Web, the SEMANTIC WEB. Unlike the existing Web, the Semantic Web will provide machine processable data content, enabling a wide range of intelligent services. The development of ONTOLOGIES will be central to this effort: by de ning shared and common domain theories, ontologies help both people and machines to communicate more effectively. They will therefore have a crucial role in enabling content-based access, interoperability and communication across the Web, providing it with a qualitatively new level of service. The project aims to develop the INFRASTRUCTURE required for the large-scale deployment of ontologies as the foundation for the Semantic Web. This will involve not only the establishment of Web standard ontology languages, but also the parallel development of ontological engineering technology.
