Abstract — PATExpert is a recently started “Specific Targeted Research Project ” funded by the EC in FP 6, IST priority. PATExpert’s goal is to change the paradigm currently followed for patent processing from textual to semantic. We are about to develop a semantic multimedia content representation based on Semantic Web technologies for selected technology areas and to investigate some central topics from the semantic representation angle: patent retrieval and classification, content extraction, generation of multilingual user comprehensible patent information, visualization of and navigation in patent content spaces, and patent valuing and technology area assessment. Index Terms — semantic representation, (multimedia) ontology, OWL-DL, SUMO, PULO, patent processing techniques. I.
