0cb2e8eb55e70f8ebe1e8349bdf49e4cbe5d8834Timo SirainenA web-based repository for distributed ontologies, models and specifications.
0cb2e8eb55e70f8ebe1e8349bdf49e4cbe5d8834Timo SirainenAn ontology is a formal, logic-based description of the concepts and
0cb2e8eb55e70f8ebe1e8349bdf49e4cbe5d8834Timo Sirainenrelationships that are of interest to an agent (user or service) or to a
0cb2e8eb55e70f8ebe1e8349bdf49e4cbe5d8834Timo Sirainencommunity of agents. The conceptual model of an ontology reflects a consensus,
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Sirainenand the implementation of an ontology is often used to support a variety of
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Sirainenapplications such as web services, expert systems, or search engines. Therefore,
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Sirainenontologies are typically developed in teams. Ontohub wants to make this
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Sirainenstep as convenient as possible. Besides ontologies, Ontohub also
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Sirainensupports formal models and specifications, or more generally,
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Sirainenlogical theories.
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo SirainenOntohub aims at satisfying a subset of the requirements for an Open Ontology
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo SirainenRepository (OOR) and is being developed in close donnection with the Distributed
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo SirainenOntology, Modeling and Specification Language (DOL), which is part of the emerging Ontology, Model and Specification Integration and
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo SirainenInteroperability standard (OntoIOp) at OMG. For more
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Siraineninformation from this perspective, see [the Ontohub home page](http://ontoiop.org).
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo SirainenThis application started at the compact course [agile web development][0] given
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Sirainenby [Carsten Bormann][1] at the University of Bremen in March, 2012. The
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Sirainenconcept and assignment came from [Till Mossakowski][2], now in [Magdeburg][3]
f16c114c20bbd7d292d93415d1e56c8dd6abd3e7Timo Sirainenand [Christoph Lange][4].
0cb2e8eb55e70f8ebe1e8349bdf49e4cbe5d8834Timo SirainenInitial developers are [Julian Kornberger][5] and [Henning Müller][6].
