ADTF: SemBlog

URL: http://www.semblog.org/wiki/?en
Date created: 2003

Description:
A personal publishing system with semantic web techniques. Publishing activity consists of not only content producing but also information gathering. In the current web environment, we perform these activities respectively for lack of glue. We adopt content aggregation and syndication methods with RSS: RDF Site Summary, which is a basic element of semantic web, to this problem. One of the key issues of semantic web is how metadata can be generated. We use Weblog tools for personal RSS generator. The user only describes her/his content in a fixed form so that the tool will create RSS-based metadata automatically.

ADTF: DOPE: Drug Ontology Project for Elsevier

URL: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/swc/dope.html/
Date created: 2003

Description:
The aim of the DOPE project (Drug Ontology Project for Elsevier) is to investigate the possibility of providing access to multiple information sources in the area of life sciences, through a single interface. DOPE allows thesaurus-driven access to heterogeneous and distributed data, based on the RDF data model. This architecture allows for the easy addition of ontologies and data sources, to facilitate the investigation of ontology mapping and data integration issues.

Usecase:
Propose ways to provide access to multiple lifescience information sources through a single interface in order to support information providers such as Elsevier make it their business.
