A web-based repository for distributed ontologies.
An ontology is a formal, logic-based description of the concepts and
relationships that are of interest to an agent (user or service) or to a
community of agents. The conceptual model of an ontology reflects a consensus,
and the implementation of an ontology is often used to support a variety of
applications such as web services, expert systems, or search engines. Therefore,
ontologies are typically developed in teams. Ontohub wants to make this
step as convenient as possible.
Ontohub aims at satisfying a subset of the requirements for an Open Ontology
Repository (OOR) and is being developed in close donnection with the Distributed
Ontology Language, which is part of the emerging Ontology Integration and
Interoperability standard (OntoIOp, ISO Working Draft 17347). For more
information from this perspective, see [the Ontohub page in the Ontolog
This application started at the compact course [agile web development][0] given
by [Carsten Bormann][1] at the University of Bremen in March, 2012. The
concept and assignment came from [Till Mossakowski][2] and [Christoph
Lange][3] of the [AG Bernd Krieg-Brückner][4].
Initial developers are [Julian Kornberger][5] and [Henning Müller][6].
Documentation generated with yard is to be found on
