The KnowledgeWeb Project
Briefly about:
Knowledge Web is a Network of Excellence that aims to support the
transition of Ontology technology from Academia to Industry. The current
consortium is integrated by 18 participants including leading partners in
Semantic Web, Multimedia, Human Language Technology, Workflow and Agents.
The NoE will concentrate its efforts around the outreach of this
technology to industry. Naturally, this includes education and research
efforts to ensure the durability of impact and support of industry.
The project runs from 2004 to 2007, and is supported by the European
Union Information Society initiative Framework VI grant no. FP6-507482.

Challenge for KMi:
KMi's role in the project is to build a showcase illustrating the value
of applying Semantic Web technologies to support learning on the web.
This ongoing work builds on a number of already-existing KMi technologies,
including Magpie,
ScholOnto and
BuddySpace, as
well as on our experience in supporting the succcessful, distributed
computing project climateprediction.net.
Moreover we are also in charge of the main educational activities of
the Network of Excellence, and in particular Prof. Enrico Motta is the
Director of the annual European
Summer School on Ontological Engineering and the Semantic Web (SSSW),
the premiere educational event in the area of the semantic web.

Browsing the Web Semantically
Magpie:
Magpie is an experimental Semantic Web 'filter' developed at The Open University's Knowledge Media Institute.
It works as a streamlined toolbar that sits within your web browser, and helps you find and further elaborate things you
are interested in.

LATEST NEWS
ASPL-v1/Magpie Prototype Evaluation:
ASPL-v1/Magpie plug-in is now available for download and testing.
Currently, it is only available for the Microsoft Internet Explorer v5 or above.
The KnowledgeWeb demonstrator plug-in comes with two sample ontological lexicons:
climate glossary and semantic web studies (semweb-studies.onto). The latter is
to be used if you decide to respond to our evaluation questionnaire.
Note that the format of lexicons has been improved, so if you had an older version
of Magpie/ASPL, you need to reinstall it!

Advanced Semantic Platform for Learning (demo):
Advanced Semantic Platform for Learning (ASPL-v1) is a service-oriented
framework that aims to support advanced learning tasks students are facing
(e.g. writing literature reviews) by means of decomposing a learning task into
a sequence of smaller sub-tasks addressing different types of learning (from
simple recall, through comprehension and analysis), and map these sub-tasks
onto available semantic services, which a student can interact with using
our Magpie framework for developing semantic web applications. This is an early
prototype of ASPL, which was presented at the KnowledgeWeb review in March 2005.

Available KnowledgeWeb Resources:
Links to additional, off-site resources now include newly launched KnowledgeWeb
EduPortal, where you can publish your own material relevant to teaching about
the Semantic Web.
