Aim of the project:

Enabling better network management between entities (information and persons) mainly by means of

• an ontological description of the network and • the computation of the proximity between the entities• visualization of search results

Implementation of a software that can be used as plugin/web service and can be reused with different already existing network management tools.

7 main workpackages: – A2 method: computation of proximity between entities (information &

persons) within a network

– A3 platform: Implementation of the algorithms of A2 as a plugin and testing with the network platform of the SWS.

– A4 Survey of Semantic Web SW: Aim:• adjust the implementation to standards/interfaces/formats/… already

existing• identify useful software and integrate it into the software developed.
