Deshalb steht ontoprise in ständigem Austausch mit Forschungseinrichtungen weltweit und setzt auf die wissenschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit und Spitzenforschung in ausgewählten Projekten.

Ontoprise ist zurzeit aktiv in folgenden Forschungsprojekten mit namhaften Partnern wie z.B. AUDI, BAE, BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Deutsche Telekom, DFKI, empolis, FIAT, Fraunhofer, FZI Karlsruhe, Intel, Renault, Rolls-Royce, SAP, Siemens, Software AG, Technische Universität München, Universität Karlsruhe (TH), ….

 
THESEUS is a research program initiated by the Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology (BMWi), with the goal of developing a new Internet-based infrastructure in order to better use and utilize the knowledge available on the Internet. The focus of the research program is on semantic technologies. Using these technologies, computer programs can intelligently comprehend the context in which data were stored and draw logical inferences from the contents and auto­nomously recognize and produce connections between various pieces of information from different sources. In this new semantic infrastructure, companies will also be able to communicate more efficiently with other companies and, more to the point, with their customers as well as consumers in the future. THESEUS is therefore contributing to the creation of a knowledge- and IT-based service economy (Internet of services).

TEXO is a sub-project within the THESEUS research program. TEXO contributes to service economy by creating infrastructure components for Business Webs in the Internet of Services. The goal of TEXO is to provide a platform which makes services tradable on the internet, composable into value-added services, and allows the integration of customized services into the environment of service consumers. TEXO addresses the full lifecycle of these services from innovation to consumption via intuitive interfaces and technical systems. Therefore, the TEXO project takes advantage of semantic technologies to describe the content of services in order to enable automatic processing of service descriptions.
Ontoprise is responsible for the core technologies of the semantic backend of TEXO. With our workpackage partner SAP Research we will deliver the semantic platform to operate and run novel service descriptions and applications developed in TEXO and later on by customers, companies or service providers. Ontoprise delivers the core parts of the Semantic Backend, i.e. reasoning technology, metadata repositories based on that technologies and administration tools.

The NeOn project is a multi-million Euro project involving 14 European partners and co-funded by the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme. NeOn started in March 2006 and aims over the course of four years to advance the state of the art in using ontologies for large-scale semantic applications in the distributed organizations. This particularly aims at improving the capability to handle multiple networked ontologies that exist in a particular context, are created collaboratively, and might be highly dynamic and constantly evolving.
One of the first outcomes of the NeOn project is the NeOn Toolkit, an extensible Ontology Engineering Environment that is part of the reference implementation of the NeOn architecture. It contains plugins for ontology management and visualization. A number of commercial plugins extend the toolkit by various functionalities, including rule support (graphical/textual editing, debugging), mediation between ontologies (graphical mapping, interpretation of mapping rules), database integration (import of database schema, life database-access during query answering), or query and reasoning support. Ontoprise is delivering major parts of the NeOn Toolkit and plugins.

The NeOn reference architecture with the NeOn Toolkit will then enable efficient implementations of semantic applications, in open environments such as the Semantic Web, in support of the automation of Business to Business relationships, and also in company intranets.

X-Media (EU FP6-26978) beforscht Methodologien und Techniken für Wissensmanagement in sehr großem Umfang. Wissen, das über verschiedenste Medien (Text, Bild, Vibrations-Messdaten) und Speicherorte weit verteilt ist, wird von hochentwickelten - hier: semantischen, regelbasierten - Cross Media Algorithmen analysiert, annotiert, verschmolzen und für den Abruf bereitgestellt. Wissensarbeiter werden darin unterstützt, auf hochkomplexem Wissen basierende Entscheidungen zeitnah und arbeitsplatzintegriert zu treffen.

X-Media entwickelt dazu eine modulare Architektur, in die verschiedene ontologiebasierte Inferenzsysteme (wie z.B. OntoBroker, OntoBroker OWL) je nach erforderlicher Inferenz-Komplexität eingefügt werden können.
Ontoprise verantwortet in X-Media hauptsächlich Fragen rund um die Bereitstellung semantischer Repositories für large scale reasoning (F-Logic, OWL DLP und OWL DL) mit unsicherem Wissen. Daneben stellt ontoprise Schnittstellen bereit für die Nutzung von Ontologien für die automatische und interaktive Annotation von Text, Bild und Rohdaten.
