Abstract

Interoperability on multiple levels, concerning both the ontologies themselves and their engineering activities, is a key requirement for ontology networks to be efficient, with minimal redundancy and high reuse. This requirement has a strict binding for software tools that can support some interoperability levels, yet they can be hindered by a lack of shared models and vocabularies describing the resources to be handled, as well as the ways of handling them. Here, three examples of metalevel vocabularies are proposed, each covering at least one peculiar interoperability aspect: OMV for modeling the artifacts themselves, LIR for managing a multilingual layer on top of them, and C-ODO Light for modeling collaboration-supportive life cycle management tasks and processes. All of these models lend themselves to handling by dedicated software tools and are all being employed within NeOn products.

Please notice that not all classes and properties are included. The ontology is available for download in several ontology formats at http://​omv.​ontoware.​org/​
 
5
In the remainder of this chapter, when OWL appears without any version information, it refers to OWL1. As opposed, when referring to OWL2, we explicitly note it.
 
6
OMV extensions are also available at http://​omv.​ontoware.​org
 
14
The Semantic Web search engine Watson provides data about the language of ontology labels that shows that around 80% of ontologies have literals only in English (http://​watson.​kmi.​open.​ac.​uk/​blog/​2007/​11/​20/​1195580640000.​html)
