Ontology Managememt provides an up-to-date, scientifically correct, concise and easy-to-read reference on this topic. The book includes relevant tasks, practical and theoretical challenges, limitations and methodologies, plus available tooling support. The editors discuss integrating the conceptual and technical dimensions with a business view on using ontologies, stressing the cost dimension of ontology engineering and offering guidance on how to derive ontologies semi-automatically from existing standards and specifications.

Real World Applications of Semantic Web Technology and Ontology is a professional book and provides a series of case studies which give examples of real benefits to be derived from the adoption of semantic web based ontologies in real world situations, such as telecommunication, B2B integration, tourism, education and more. Real World Applications of Semantic Web Technology and Ontology is designed for practitioners in industry, as well researchers and graduate-level students in computer science.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Electronic Commerce and Web Technologies (EC-Web) held in Munich, Germany, in September 2014. The 11 full and 8 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 46 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on data, information, and knowledge management for e-business; Semantic Web and linked open data for e-business; search, matchmaking, recommender and comparison systems; economics, management, and law; and social interaction in e-business.

This professional book provides a series of case studies which give examples of real benefits to be derived from the adoption of semantic web based ontologies in real world situations, such as telecommunication, B2B integration, tourism, education and more. The book is designed to create platforms for bringing experts together (key government representatives, industry and academia) from different countries, and to compile the most recent use of semantics and ontologies.

This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of seven international workshops held in conjunction with the 25th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2006, in Tucson, AZ, USA in November 2006. The 39 revised full papers presented together with the outlines of three tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions.

This volume LNCS 11877 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Confederated International Conferences: Cooperative Information Systems, CoopIS 2019, Ontologies, Databases, and Applications of Semantics, ODBASE 2019, and Cloud and Trusted Computing, C&TC, held as part of OTM 2019 in October 2019 in Rhodes, Greece. The 38 full papers presented together with 8 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 156 submissions. The OTM program every year covers data and Web semantics, distributed objects, Web services, databases, informationsystems, enterprise workflow and collaboration, ubiquity, interoperability, mobility, grid and high-performance computing.

Der Autor zeigt, welche enorme Bedeutung einer herstellerneutralen, maschinengeeigneten Sprache fur die Wirtschaftsinformatik zukommt und inwieweit vorhandene Ansatze wie eCl@ss, UNSPSC und eOTD als Grundlage dafur dienen konnen.

The state of the art in ontology building, and modeling in general, widely disregards the fact that the behavior of rational actors in the modeling process will be driven by individual economic incentives. Creating an ontology requires resources (e.g. labor) from the contributing individuals. If there is a remote possibility the overall benefit of an ontology might exceed the costs for creating the ontology over its lifetime, it may not be created if ita (TM)s not economically feasible for each individual required to contribute.

Ontology Economics, an edited volume authored by distinguished leaders in this field, provides a one-stop reference on the economic dimension of building, committing to, and using ontologies which are grounded by economic research. Linked to experience and data from real-world ontology projects, this volume is concise and self-contained.

A reference book for advanced-level students and researchers in computer science and engineering; also useful for industry practitioners.
