This paper investigates the integration of ontology storage and ontology-based applications through the example of the EnerSearch case study conducted within the On-To-Knowledge research project.

We introduce the solution developed during the case study that also opens the way for creating Portable Inference Modules that capture transformation knowledge in a modular way. We discuss future extensions to this package based on the belief that the issues at hand will The World Wide Web has drastically changed both the form and availability of information in the past years. As the number of web pages and users on the public internet skyrocketed, companies around the world have just as eagerly adopted internet technologies as a basis for their own networked, electronic information stores. The resulting intranets, filled with weakly structured, weakly organized information,
