Working Group Information Systems and Semantic Web: ISWeb
The Research Group "ISWeb - Information Systems and Semantic Web" concentrates its work on the basic principles and applications of semantic-based technologies and their integration into complex, dynamic information systems.
The basics of semantic-based systems include the modeling of ontologies, representation of ontologies, approaches and methods for the design and maintenance of ontologies, as well as the semantic annotation of documents, multimedia data or web services to enable the semantic search and usage of these resources.
Semantic technologies are used for information retrieval, for information integration and for semantic-based peer-to-peer networks or for semantic middleware (Web Services, Grid). Semantic technologies enrich the abilities of information and knowledgement systems and allow a more efficient and more effective handling of complex, dynamic systems.
