Ontologies contain semantic information often annotated with metadata. They can get quite
complex and very large, causing difficulties in using these ontologies on a daily basis. A …

This paper presents a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach to a distributed
framework for reusing, extracting and extending large domain ontologies in the Semantic …

Ontology as a formal representation of a domain knowledge has played an important role in
a distributed environment whereby semantic interoperability is a major factor. In this paper …

There are many simulation environments around that can be used to simulate components
of Grid Computing. There are also a few simulation environments that allow for data …

A Grid is computer-based infrastructur that providesdependable, consistent, pervasive
access to distributedresources. Built on top of a Grid, a Semantic Grid is aservice-oriented …

Tailoring large ontologies can be a very cumbersome task. The Grid enables resource
sharing to handle such tasks over a distributed environment. It makes sense then, to …

services are given well defined and explicitly represented meaning, better enabling
computers and people to work in cooperation. Existing Grid Services deal with knowledge in …

Since ontologies will be used to suport a variety of different tasks, and since experience from
other fields has shown that visualisation techniques can be successfully used to support …

Ontologies as means for conceptualizing and structuring domain knowledge within a
community of interest are seen as a key to realize the Semantic Web vision. However, the …

Nowadays, capturing the knowledge in ontological structures is one of the primary focuses
of the semantic web research. To exploit the knowledge from the vast quantity of existing …
