Technologies
Applications and Tools
The NeOn project encompassed several key technologies and tools designed to enhance ontology engineering, semantic data management, and interoperability.

The Alignment Server facilitated ontology reconciliation by identifying correspondences between entities in different ontologies. It used an RDF format to standardise and share alignments.
Cupboard provided an ontology publishing and sharing system, supporting both engineers and users by offering hosting, management, and discovery functionalities.


The Fisheries Stock Depletion Assessment System (FSDAS) demonstrated the application of NeOn technologies to fisheries resource management.
I2Ont was a prototype that addressed invoice interoperability issues in the Spanish pharmaceutical industry by utilising networked ontologies.


The NeOn Toolkit served as an ontology engineering environment, supporting distributed ontology management, reasoning, and collaboration through a modular framework built on Eclipse.
Ontology Design Patterns (ODP) offered a portal for best practices in ontology engineering, featuring validated design solutions and an official catalog reviewed by experts.


Oyster assisted researchers in managing and sharing ontology metadata in a peer-to-peer network, using semantic web techniques to facilitate ontology exchange and reuse.
Scarlet focused on discovering semantic relationships between concepts by leveraging online ontologies and semantic web gateways like Watson.


SearchPoint functioned as a search engine add-on, enabling users to navigate ranking spaces for customised search results.
The Semantic Nomenclature integrated vast pharmaceutical product information in Spain using networked ontologies.

Text2Onto provided a framework for learning ontologies from text, using a Probabilistic Ontology Model to represent extracted knowledge.
Watson acted as a gateway to the Semantic Web, collecting and indexing semantic documents while supporting applications that dynamically locate and use external semantic resources.
