TL;DR
The resulting Planet-Onto architecture is described, which provides an integrated set of tools to support news publishing, ontology-driven document formalization, story identification and personalized news feeds and alerts.
Abstract
We consider a knowledge management scenario in which members of an academic community collaboratively construct and share a common archive of news items. Given this scenario, a number of knowledge management challenges arise: how to organize a speedy, low overhead publication process which can nevertheless yield high quality results; how to provide semantic search and knowledge retrieval facilities in an effective and sustainable way; how best to provide individualized presentations and news alerts. To address these questions we have drawn on a number of technologies, including knowledge modelling, autonomous agents, software visualization, knowledge acquisition and distributed computing. In the paper we describe the resulting Planet-Onto architecture, which provides an integrated set of tools to support news publishing, ontology-driven document formalization, story identification and personalized news feeds and alerts.

Knowledge AcquisitionA translation approach to portable ontology specifications
12,428 Citations1993Thomas Gruber
This paper describes a mechanism for defining ontologies that are portable over representation systems, basing Ontolingua itself on an ontology of domain-independent, representational idioms.
International Journal of Human-Computer StudiesToward principles for the design of ontologies used for knowledge sharing?
7,656 Citations1995Thomas Gruber
The role of ontology in supporting knowledge sharing activities is described, and a set of criteria to guide the development of ontologies for these purposes are presented, and it is shown how these criteria are applied in case studies from the design ofOntologies for engineering mathematics and bibliographic data.

Ontologies and Knowledge Bases. Towards a Terminological Clarification
829 Citations1995Nicola Guarino, Stati Uniti +1 more
It is argued for the need of clear terminological choices regarding the technical use of terms like "ontology", "conceptualization" and "ontological commitment" in the current debate in AI, and the possible confusion between an ontology intended as a particular conceptual framework at the knowledge level and a concrete artifact at the symbol level.

This approach concentrates on the competence and knowledge requirements of a PSM, rather than internal control details, thus enabling black-box-style reuse, and argues that any method can be defined in either task-independent or task-dependent style and therefore such distinction is of limited utility in PSM reuse.
