Ontology Libraries
The development of ontologies for the Web has led to the emergence of services providing lists or directories of ontologies with search facility. Such directories have been called ontology libraries.
The following are static libraries of human-selected ontologies.
- COLORE is an open repository of first-order ontologies in Common Logic with formal links between ontologies in the repository.
- DAML Ontology Library maintains a legacy of ontologies in DAML.
- Protégé Ontology Library contains a set of OWL, Frame-based and other format ontologies.
- SchemaWeb is a directory of RDF schemata expressed in RDFS, OWL and DAML+OIL.
The following are both directories and search engines. They include crawlers searching the Web for well-formed ontologies.
- OBO Foundry is a suite of interoperable reference ontologies in biology and biomedicine.
- Bioportal (ontology repository of NCBO)
- OntoSelect Ontology Library offers similar services for RDF/S, DAML and OWL ontologies.
- Ontaria is a "searchable and browsable directory of semantic web data" with a focus on RDF vocabularies with OWL ontologies. (NB Project "on hold" since 2004).
- Swoogle is a directory and search engine for all RDF resources available on the Web, including ontologies.
- OOR - the Open Ontology Repository initiative - http://oor.net

Famous quotes containing the word libraries:
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
