An ontology is both a flexible and exciting way to organize information. In this session, we will discuss such issues as bridging concepts amongst taxonomy, thesauri, and ontology, the details of ontology representation in RDF/OWL, implementing ontologies within systems, and use cases for how ontologies are being used for systems integration and vocabulary mapping.

Hear Christine Connors of TriviumRLG and Irene Polikoff of TopQuadrant discuss moving from building taxonomies to ontologies, ways in which ontologies provide greater power in information access, and best practices for applications.
