Arabic ontology engineering-challenges and opportunities
Mustafa Jarrar · 2011
The Internet and the open connectivity environments created a strong demand for the sharing of data semantics, as in e-commerce, interoperability, search and retrieval, bioinformatics, e-Government, digital libraries, HR, and many others. Ontologies are used to represent a shared understanding (i.e., semantics) of a certain domain. By sharing an ontology, autonomous and distributed applications can meaningfully communicate to exchange data and make transactions interoperate independently of their internal technologies.
