Descripción

The Ontology Metadata Vocabulary OMV is a standard proposal for describing ontologies and related entities. The OMV metadata schema is formally represented as ontology and is designed modularly: OMV distinguishes between the OMV Core and various OMV Extensions. The core captures information which is expected to be relevant to the majority of ontology reuse settings, while the extensions allow ontology developers and users to specify task/application-specific ontology-related information (e.g. mappings, ontology evaluation, ontology changes etc,).

Funcionalidad

OMV provides a basis for an effective access and exchange of ontologies across the web. This standard proposal provides the basis for interoperability at tool level through a common interface to ontology registries/repositories (e.g. Oyster, Centrasite) and related applications like the semantic web gateway Watson.

OMV distinguishes between the OMV Core and various OMV Extensions. The core captures information which is expected to be relevant to the majority of ontology reuse settings, while the extensions allow ontology developers and users to specify task/application-specific ontology-related information (e.g. mappings, ontology evaluation, ontology changes etc,).

Innovación

OMV enables users from academia and industry to identify, find and apply – basically meaning to reuse – ontologies and related entities effectively and efficiently.
