MOSES

(MOdular and Scalable Environment for the Semantic web)

Thematic priority : IST (Information Society Technologies)
Type of instrument: Research Project
Project Name: MOSES
Project Number: IST-2001-37244
Co-ordinator: Alfredo Ricchi (FINSA)

MOSES focuses on the development of a modular and scalable ontology-based knowledge management system as a proof of concept for scalable and distributed information brokering. MOSES is based on advanced technologies, that integrates: NLP models and tools, graph theory, agent-based software technology.

The effectiveness of this system and the viability of the approach have been demonstrated by:

an application supporting ontology-based queries expressed in natural language in the domain of academic WEB sites, to be validated at the sites of the University of Copenhagen (in Danish language) and the University of Roma 3 (in Italian language);
a set of semi-automatic tools showing how new content may be easily added to the knowledge structure (scalability).
