Automating reuse of semantic repositories in the context of semantic web

Abstract

In this paper a novel approach to make discovery and subsequent integration of semantic repositories, like ontologies, as seamlees and automatic as possible is presented. Reuse of semantic repositories has many advantages and it has been acknowledged time and again that it is a process which can only be partially or semi automatically be achieved. We discuss the nature of semantic repositories, the challenges and issues still to be resolved and finally the proposed framework. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
