| Abstract | LT World (www.lt-world.org) is an ontology-driven web portal aimed at servingthe global language technology community. Ontology-driven means, that thesystem is driven by an ontological schema to manage the research informationand knowledge life-cycles: identify relevant concepts of information, structureand formalize them, assign relationships, functions and views, add states andrules, modify them. For modelling such a complex structure, we employ (i)concepts from the research domain, such as person, organisation, project, tool,data, patent, news, event (ii) concepts from the LT domain, such as technologyand resource (iii) concepts from closely related domains, such as language,linguistics, and mathematics. Whereas the research entities represent thegeneral context, that is, a research environment as such, the LT entitiesdefine the information and knowledge space of the field, enhanced by entitiesfrom closely related areas. By managing information holistically ― that is,within a research context ― its inherent semantics becomes much moretransparent. This paper introduces LT World as a reference information portalthrough ontological eyes: its content, its system, its method for maintainingknowledge-rich items, its ontology as an asset. |
