An ontology is simply a computational model of some portion of the world, including "things" and their relationships. With all the technical talk about standards, frameworks, and domains, we often forget that ontologies are often expressed in ordinary databases. Simplifying the interface between databases and XML-based ontology structures is a critical task for implementing the Semantic Web.
SharePoint has no built-in capabilities for implementing ontologies, but it does have some powerful features that allow them to be exposed in a Web application. Many of these features can be deployed without the aid of a programmer. In this teleconference tutorial, Montague Institute founder Jean Graef will show how an ontology created with a user-friendly relational database management system was interfaced with a SharePoint site for collaborative publishing.
