Ontologies are considered a key technology enabling semantic interoperability and integration of data and processes. We are now entering a phase of knowledge system development, in which ontologies are produced in larger numbers and exhibit greater complexity. Also we have witnessed an increasing need for technologies that enable the reuse of existing (Semantic) Web resources from within the ontology engineering environment itself. In the NeOn project 1 we aim at advancing the state of the art in using ontologies for large-scale semantic applications. This is realized by providing an infrastructure for networked ontology management and engineering capable of suiting the community’s needs [1]. The heart of this infrastructure is the NeOn Toolkit for engineering contextualized networked ontologies and semantic applications.
