Welcome to the Semantic Web Research Community 

OntoWorld.org serves as the central hub in a network of collaborating semantic portals. While each portal can operate independently, the true power lies in their collaboration. Each portal holds partial knowledge of a specific domain or application, and by querying across these portals, a comprehensive and dynamic view can be generated instantly.

Why Multiple Portals Instead of Just One?

The reason is simple: performance and scalability. Different domains and applications have unique requirements. For example, a large publication server demands different storage capabilities than a news or community portal. By combining knowledge from various portals—such as linking publication data with background information on projects or people—a richer, more complex view is created with just a click.
