[EXMO] cooperation

Exmo has been involved in various cooperative research projects involving other research teams and industrial firms. They are briefly described below:


Methodology and algorithms for ontology refinement and matching (2015-2017)

Jérôme Euzenat is benefiting from a Special visiting researcher grant from the Bresilian Ciência sem Fronteiras program.

He is working with the team of Fernanda Baião and Kate Revoredo at the Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO). Together they will investigate methods for evolving ontologies and alignments which involves users and agents. The goal of the project is to design methods and algorithms for both revised ontologies to represent the evolution of knowledge in a reliable manner and to obtain better quality alignments.


Lindicle (2013-2016)

Exmo carries out with Tsinghua university (Knowledge engineering group), the Lindicle project whose goal is to investigate multilingual data interlinking between French, English and Chinese data sources.

Ready4SmartCities: ICT Roadmap and Data Interoperability for Energy Systems in Smart Cities (2013-2015)

Exmo is a partner of the FP7 Ready4SmartCities coordination and support action. The READY4SmartCities project intends to increase awareness and interoperability for the adoption of ICT and semantic technologies in energy system to obtain a reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emission at smart cities communities level through innovative relying on RTD and innovation outcomes and ICT-based solutions.

We are particularly interested in promoting the use of semantic technologies in this context. There seems to be a consensus about their usefulness. We will be more particularly in charge of displaying the benefits of maintaining correspondences between available ontologies.

NeOn (2006-2010)

Exmo is a partner of the NeOn integrated project dedicated to the development of an environment covering the whole lifecycle of networked ontologies, i.e., the ontologies considered with their links to other ontologies.

We more specifically consider the application of alignments as a way to express relations between ontologies in networked ontologies. This has made us develop module and context support based on alignments. We are integrating this work within design time support tools, i.e., the NeOn toolkit, and run time support tools, i.e., the Alignment server, Watson and Oyster.

W3C WebOnt Working Group (2002-2004)

The W3C WebOnt Working Group (for short WebOnt) was one of the two working groups (along with RDF Core) that founded the "Semantic Web Activity" of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Exmo (Jean-François Baget and Jérôme Euzenat) represented INRIA among 53 other members of WebOnt.

WebOnt has designed the OWL language (a somewhat disordered acronym of Web Ontology Language)). OWL is a description logics based language (in the continuity of DAML+OIL), built on top of the other language designed in W3C semantic web activity: RDF. OWL is a recommendation of W3C since February 2004. We have more specifically worked on the OWL/XML presentation language and its translation to the OWL/RDF interchange format.

More information on WebOnt can be found on this page.

Action spécifique ``web sémantique'' (2001-2002)

The STIC department within CNRS has funded some specific actions (" actions spécifiques ") in order to study research opportunities in particular areas. EXMO has been involved in the one devoted to the "semantic web" headed by Jean Charlet, Philippe Laublet and Chantal Reynaud. This action involves CAMS, LRI, LORIA, LIRIS, LIMOS (as CNRS units) and Assistance publique and other INRIA teams such as ACACIA and ORPAILLEUR.

The goal of our prospective work was to identify strong points in French research and their contribution to the semantic web and its development at the international level. We have more particularly considered the aspect of languages [baget2003a] in which we are otherwise involved (see WebOnt above).
