Abstract

The semantic Web vision relies on metadata and semantic annotation to be implemented on real world data. Ontologies and ontology-like artefacts are the key component providing necessary knowledge for Web document description. Domain ontology building is, however, a difficult and time consuming task. In this paper, we present our process of building an infection domain vocabulary for the national electronic library of infection. This paper describes the requirements for the vocabulary development process and the initial results.
