Synopsis (short abstract) As with many domains, information retrieval and knowledge management (IR/KM) in ethics suffers from the problems of semantic heterogeneity, making it difficult for providers to disseminate their services effectively and for users to retrieve the information they need. An analysis was conducted of resources provided by two hundred or so information services within the domain of ethics as it applies to issues in science, technology, and research in a European context. Based on this analysis, this paper proposes a) an application profile for dealing with the problem of heterogeneity originating from differences in terminologies, domain coverage, and domain modelling, and b) a root ontology based on the application profile which can serve as a basis for extending knowledge of the domain.

    As with many domains, information retrieval and knowledge management (IR/KM) in agriculture suffers from the problems of semantic heterogeneity, making it difficult for providers to disseminate their services effectively and for users to retrieve the information they need. Based on the analysis of resources in the domain of agriculture, this paper proposes a) application profiles for dealing with the problem of heterogeneity originating from differences in terminologies, domain coverage, and dom ain modelling, and b) a root ontology based on the application profile which can serve as a basis for extending knowledge of the domain.

    This paper outlines a project (involving FAO, SIFAR, and CNR) aiming at building a formal ontology in the fishery domain. The ontology will support semantic interoperability among existing fishery information systems and will enhance information extraction and text marking, envisaging a fishery semantic web. The ontology is being built through the conceptual integration
