An Ontology Server For Agentcities.NET Project

The aim of this 6 month deployment project is to investigate the use of an ontology server in an interoperable agent network (agentcities.NET). The server provides a publication environment for the disclosure of metadata vocabularies and customised application-specific profiles of these vocabularies. The metadata vocabularies (also known as schemas or metadata element sets) may be regarded as simple forms of ontologies. In this registry environment, individual terms as well as whole vocabularies can be investigated for adaptations, local usages and relationships with other vocabularies. We are building on previous work within the SCHEMAS and MEG registry projects, and on our involvement in the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative's registry activity.

This project finished on 28th February 2003.
