I consider the following figure a useful tool for managing semantic
discovery projects intended to analyze database corpora for knowledge:
If anyone would like to discuss this, please feel free to reply.

> Ontologies and Linked Data vocabularies are being actively

Semantic
> Web is a modular and highly federated environment of reusable
> knowledge sources; these provide the meaning so that SW
applications
> change our experience of the web. Within this context, the need
for

concrete

of

> The number of ontologies being built and made available for
reuse
> has increased steadily in the last few years. Semantic Web search
> engines such as Swoogle and Watson currently index several tens of
> thousands of them; there are also systems specifically designed
to
> support the publication of ontologies, e.g. Cupboard, NCBO
> Bioportal, and ONKI. Some tools also support editing features,
e.g.
> Neologism, Knoodl. While being a foundation for the Semantic Web,
> this new environment where ontologies are shared and interlinked
> online also poses new challenges; fostering thus a number of
> research projects aiming to understand, amongst others, ontology
> reuse, storage, publication, versioning, quality control,
> evaluation, retrieval and modularization. For instance, as part
of
> the EU NeOn project new tools supporting Knowledge Engineering in
> the age of ?networked ontologies? have been developed, while in
the
> EU OASIS project approaches from software engineering and
> formalization are now also being applied to inter-connect
> ontologies. Moreover, despite initial efforts, ontology
repositories
> are hardly interoperable amongst themselves. Although sharing
> similar aims (providing easy access to Semantic Web resources),
they
> diverge in the methods and techniques employed for gathering
these
> documents and making them available; each interprets and uses
> metadata in a different manner. Furthermore, many features are
still
> poorly supported; for instance, modularization, versioning, and
the
> relationship between ontology repositories and ontology
engineering
> environments (editors) to support the entire ontology lifecycle.

> By the same token, there are several domains making available
> knowledge resources; for instance, digital libraries such as
Pubmed
> Central offer a large collection of biomedical abstracts and, in
> some cases, open access to the full document. Some researchers
are
> starting to bridge the gap between clinical and experimental data
> and literature; such connection is being built via ontologies,
some
> approaches have had BioPortal as their ontology repository.
Linked
> Data is also being explored as a means for publishers to expose
> their content. Knowledge management over documents is actively
> aiming to make real the notion of self-descriptiveness; being
this
> intrinsically related to various resources over the web providing
> meaning for atomic component in documents ?words, tables,
figures,
> maps, etc. In order for these systems to be successful, it is
> necessary to provide a forum for researchers and developers to
> discuss features and exchange ideas on the realization of
> repositories providing semantics. In addition, it is now critical
to
> achieve interoperability between these repositories, through
common
> interfaces, standard metadata formats, etc. SERES10 intends to

> · Semantic repositories, ontology repositories,

> interacting? Are they changing our experience of the web?
>
> · How are domain specific knowledge
repositories,
> such as biomedical digital libraries, interconnecting knowledge
in
> meaningful manners?
>
> · How are e-government initiatives using and
> delivering semantics and knowledge repositories?
>
> · How can ontology repositories support novel
> semantic applications?
>
> · How can ontology repositories encourage the
> development of high quality ontologies that are used routinely by
> relevant communities?
>
> · How can ontology repositories provide
semantics

>
> · How can ontology repositories contribute to
the
> reuse of ontologies across different domains and applications?
>
> · How can ontology repositories interoperate with

>
> · How can provenance and intellectual property

comprehensible
