InIn our opinion, the problem is initial our opinion, the problem is initial orientation of semantic technology orientation of semantic technology development to World Wide Web development to World Wide Web digital resources. This resulted to digital resources. This resulted to omission from consideration of other omission from consideration of other industrial domain resources: industrial domain resources: devices, processes devices, processes and evenand even humanshumans..

ConclusionConclusion ConclusionConclusion

In this paper we have extended the usual set of Semantic Web resources to a new generation of the enhanced smart-resources (OntoSmartResources). We considered following aspects as: a resource behavior mechanism and a Resource Description Semantic Maintenance System for an OntoSmartResource. A support of these aspects opens a new possibility for the dynamic resources to be proactive and do (semantic) maintenance of own (metadata) content when needed.

Also in this paper we considered a human as a kind of smart-resource. We involved human as a resource (player) of a global integrated semantic environment and considered the aspects related to the human representation and adaptation mechanism. Especially we placed the emphasis on application of an Ontology Personalization mechanism to simplify interactions between players of the OntoEnvironment and increase their collaborative performance.
