Content Management Interface
The OWL Web Ontology Language is designed for use by applications that need to process the content of information instead of just presenting information to humans. OWL is a W3C Recommendation and facilitates greater machine interpretability of Web content than that supported by XML, RDF, and RDF Schema (RDF-S) by providing additional vocabulary along with a formal semantics.
Throughout the portal information about Persons, Publications or Projects are retrieved from a relational database and presented to the user by XHTML. Such sites are also annotated by machine-understandable descriptions according to SWRC (Semantic Web Research Community) the SWRC (Semantic Web Research Community) ontology. Both XHTML files and annotations are interlinked by the tag. In addition, you may view the automatically generated information by clicking on the "OWL/RDF" button on the bottom of pages about Persons, Publications or Projects.
Let's make an example. We provide regular XHTML pages (example) for human consumption and OWL annotations (example) for computer processing.

The annotations have been successfully tested with OilEd 3.5.7 and Protege 3.0 beta, OWL Plug-In Version 1.3, Build 212. All of them validate correctly against OWL Lite according to the WonderWeb OWL Validator.
