DESCRIPTION
Michael Wetzel ( Coreon) focussed on on the management of language resources that can be used in different applications. Thereby it was discovered that knowledge is mainly accessible by multilingual data, hence, forcing it to stay in knowledge silos. The approach undertaken to open up the knowledge access is to discard the string driven search/access, because it has to fail given that one and the same object has multiple expressions. Rather, it has to be searched for the thing instead of the string! This can be achieved by a fusion of concepts and multilingual terminology. For this purpose Coreon has developed a knowledge software that establishes a knowledge map starting from a multilingual terminology list. The primary challenge that has to be tackled is the need to bridge the various format standards of TBX, SKOW and OWL.

Challenges
11
• By its nature designed for linking• How about access rights
management?
MKS is infrastructure
• Different standards (TBX – SKOS / OWL – LEMON)
• Different communities
Two worlds mean
inefficiency
• Not a translation problem• An opportunity to access
knowledge “extra muros”
Evangelization required

Summary
12
Knowledge is expressed in a variety of formats, in
different language registers, and multilingual
MKS is a fusion of taxonomy with terminology to facilitate
semantic processing of knowledge
Turn EU’s multilingualism into an advantage
