A Tool for Sharing Knowledge with Ontologies

The goal of this paper is to present a new tool called HKS that is designed to help users to collect information about various concepts and their attributes from HTML pages. This version of the tool should facilitate the manual extraction of information from the visualized pages via a graphical user interface and the use of techniques like drag & drop and copy & paste. The extracted information is used to populate the Knowledge Base/Data Base. The acquired knowledge is organized as a multiple inheritance graph of conc ept descriptions. The tool is also being capable to import/export concept descriptions from existing toplevel ontologies and create/update ontologies.
