The Semantic Web has a huge potential when it is used to organize market processes. The labour market is an excellent example where it can add value. By enhancing communication between employers and job seekers in the digital age, market processes become more efficient and more people can find the right jobs for them. The multilingual classification of European Skills, Competences, Qualificatio...

The Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) is a widely used scheme for classifying documents in mathematics by subject. Its traditional, idiosyncratic conceptualization and representation makes the scheme hard to maintain and requires custom implementations of search, query and annotation support. This limits uptake e.g. in semantic web technologies in general and the creation and exploration...

Der Artikel basiert auf einer Bachelorarbeit mit dem Titel „Terminologie Mapping: Grundlagen und aktuelle Standardisierung“, die im Sommersemester 2011 an der Hochschule Darmstadt geschrieben wurde. Er befasst sich mit den Grundlagen des Terminologie Mappings, also der Erstellung von Querverbindungen zwischen verschiedenen kontrollierten Vokabularen und der Standardisierung der Mapping-Verfahre...

Service-oriented manufacturing systems need to be supported by formal reference models for effective service description, discovery, and composition. A reference model should evolve continuously throughout its lifecycle to respond to changing requirements. The objective of this work is to propose a formal process for collaborative and community-based reference-model evolution and identify the c...

In this paper, we show how Semantic Web techniques can help to solve semantic interoperability issues in the cultural heritage domain. In particular, these techniques can enable integrated access to heterogeneous collections by representing their controlled description vocabularies (e.g. thesauri) in a standardized format – Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS). We also present existing a...

This paper introduces KOSO, an ontology which aims at structuring expert knowledge about different types of knowledge organization systems (KOS) and at providing an organized access to already existing knowledge models. The classification and detailed description of such KOS will be enabled by the ontology. Furthermore, existing cross-concordances and interrelations between different KOS will b...

This paper argues for using process models as the primary means to structure and organize knowledge in software organizations. We discuss how process models can support project planning and illustrate how a process-centered organization of knowledge helps the individual developer to find appropriate background information for his current task during process enactment. The paper concludes with a...
