General Dissemination Strategy and Consortium-wide Actions
Hans Akkermans On-To-Knowledge Dissemination 4
What Do We Disseminate?
Vision: the Semantic / Knowledge Web Ontologies as a key technology to achieve this
Results: OTK info service toolset Ontology language plus web inference layer Methodology: How-to guidelines for roll-out Industry case study experiences
Hans Akkermans On-To-Knowledge Dissemination 5
Vision: Exploiting the World-Wide Information Resources IT, and especially Internet/WWW, have boosted
potential for knowledge acquisition and sharing BUT:BUT: information resources are heterogeneous,
distributed, semi-structured, & enormous in size HENCE:HENCE: need for KM tools for selective semantic
(meaning-oriented) access => On-To-KnowledgeOn-To-Knowledge Move from keyword search to query answeringMove from keyword search to query answering Move upwards in the data-info-knowledge chainMove upwards in the data-info-knowledge chain Vision:Vision: towards the next-generation “semantic”
(Tim Berners-Lee, W3C) or knowledge webknowledge web

The Contribution by On-To-Knowledge
Knowledge Knowledge sharing issue:sharing issue: hyperlink browsing and keyword search do not tell you much, and are a waste of time
Much better:Much better: you ask questions to information resources, and just get the answer
Hyperlink structure does not really help!
OTK toolset: achieve meaningful
semantic user access

Implementing the Vision: OTK Toolset and its Use
OTK Tools:OTK Tools: User query

OTK Consortium-wide Dissemination Actions (1/2)
Spread the word: the semantic / knowledge web publications, presentations, demonstrations
e.g. EU eBeW-2000 Conference Madrid and many others
OTK website (D30) and project brochure (D33) http://www.ontoknowledge.org
Join forces with like-minded EU projects OntoWeb thematic network in preparation Joint workshop of projects (IBROW, COMMA, AKT,
MKBEEM, C-Web, ENRICH, …) proposed (D31, D32)

OTK Consortium-wide Dissemination Actions (2/2)
Help to set web semantic standards Active participation in W3C working groups on RDF
and semantic web Links to related programmes in US (DARPA/DAML) US DAML programme considers to use OTK’s OIL
language as its standard (OIL “shell” model)
Facilitate industry take-up How-to guidelines for roll-out (WP5 Methodology) Focus on “Lightweight” semi-automatic approaches Company-specific actions at targeted market segments
