eMO - eMarket Ontologies
The collection of ontologies allows modeling of offers and requests in a market. The Bidding Ontology introduces the basic concepts for formalizing bids. It imports the Policy Ontology for attaching prices and preferences to highly configurable products. The Web Services Ontology introduces modeling primitives for describing behavioral as well as security aspects required for trading Web services. The ontology are described in several publications which can be found here.

OMV - Ontology Metadata Vocabulary
Ontologies have seen quite an enormous development and application in many domains within the last years, especially in the context of the next web generation, the Semantic Web. Besides the work of countless researchers across the world, industry starts developing ontologies to support their daily operative business. Currently, most ontologies exist in pure form without any additional information, e.g. authorship information, such as provided by Dublin Core for text documents. This burden makes it difficult for academia and industry e.g. to identify, find and apply - basically meaning to reuse - ontologies effectively and efficiently. Our contribution consists of a proposal for a metadata standard, so called Ontology Metadata Vocabulary OMV.

SWRC Ontology

The SWRC (Semantic Web for Research Communities) is an ontology for modeling entities of research communities such as persons, organisations, publications (bibliographic metadata) and their relationships. It is used in numerous applications and projects including the AIFB portal, Bibster and the SemIPort project.

More details about the modeling of the SWRC ontology can be found in:
