Towards an ontology based large repository for managing heterogeneous knowledge resources

Knowledge based applications require linguistic, terminological and ontological resources.These applications are used to fulfill a set of tasks such as semantic indexing, knowledge extraction from text, information retrieval, etc.Using these resources and combining them for the same application is a tedious task with different levels of complexity.This requires their representation in a common language, extracting the required knowledge and designing effective large scale storage structures offering operators for resources management.For instance, ontology repositories were created to address these issues by collecting heterogeneous ontologies.They generally offer a more effective indexing of these resources than general search engines by generating alignments and annotations to ensure their interoperability.However, these repositories treat a single category of resources and do not provide operations for reusing them.The aim of this research is building a large repository of knowledge resources.This repository is a collection of heterogenous resources represented in different languages and offers a set of operations to generate new resources based on the existing ones.
