Recommendations are made as to how to develop and to deploy ontologies and semantic web applications in particular business cases and with regard to industrial needs for semantic processing. The work synthesizes the results from industrial requirements analysis and technology evaluation to make recommendations and advice on the suitability of ontologies in the industrial use cases. This task will capitalize on Ontoweb/SIG4 effort.
Definition of registries where ontology developers will be able to publish the structured metadata of evaluated and certified ontologies. Development of end-user methods with corresponding tools support to measure the usability and usefulness of ontologies on the registries for an application. Ultimately, Knowledge Web will strive to set up an alliance with several industry bodies in order to set up an Ontology Outreach Authority, certifying, and serving validated ontologies.
Standardization of structured metadata to describe the ontology field in contact with standardization bodies (W3C, ISO, IEEE, CEN, ...). In summary the objectives are:

• Best practices and guidelines;
• Ontology repository;
• Standards;
• Set up the Ontology Outreach Authority.
