Knowledge Web (KW) is a 4 year Network of Excellence project funded by the European Commission 6th Framework Programme. Knowledge Web began on January 1st, 2004. Supporting the transition process of Ontology technology from Academia to Industry is the main and major goal of Knowledge Web.
The Outreach to Industry activity of the European Network of Excellence Knowledge Web is dedicated to promoting greater awareness and faster take-up of Semantic Web technology by industry within Europe in full synergy with the research activity. This outreach will help to reduce time needed to transfer the technology to industry and to market.

This repository provides details of software tools, applications and demonstrators employing Semantic Web technology. The repository provides access to these descriptions, indexed according to the Semantic Web Topic Hierarchy, and provides the facility to provide feedback on the use of these tools. In this way, the repository seeks to provide information on both the availability, usability and effectiveness of current Semantic Web tools and applications. Further information on Semantic Web technologies and on applications, use-cases, and research directions can be found on the Knowledge Web Technology Roadmap wiki site.

The Knowledge Web Technology Roadmap (KWTR) promotes a discussion on (i) the current and future trends on semantic web theories, tools and applications, (ii) general organizational needs, social drivers and user requirements, and (iii) technology locks between organizational/user needs and research activities. Its purpose is twofold:

1. To become aware of how, practically, knowledge web or semantic web technologies could help organizations in both delivering new products and services and creating new business value
2. To understand real needs of organizations and the market society, unveiling new desiderata and trends that the Knowledge Web NoE should try to overcome.

The OOA is an international not-for-profit association that consists of industry, government, and research leaders and innovators with respect to ontology development, use, or education. The general mission of the OOA is to develop strategies for ontology recommendation and standardization, and promote the ontology technology to industry. Further information on Semantic Web technologies and on applications, use-cases, and research directions can be found on the Knowledge Web Technology Roadmap wiki site.

REASE is the repository of EASE for learning units in the area of Semantic Web. REASE comprises a diverse collection of learning resources, such as slide sets from lectures, tutorials, videos, or pointers to educational activities for both Higher Education as well as for industrial education. REASE is open to any member of the academic, research, or professional community. This platform fosters collaboration among educators and researchers allowing you

• To communicate with experts in your field
• To exchange Learning Resources
• To work together on the production of Educational Material: Textbooks, lecture notes, case studies, simulations, etc.
• To deliver distributed Educational Activities: lectures, courses, workshops, case study discussions, etc.
