Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

The national Finnish Ontology Library Service ONKI was released as a Living Laboratory service at http://www.yso.fi/ in a publication event on Sept 12., 2008. See the YouTube video below,
taken at the event. Notice the recommendations “Related videos” confusing “Onki” with e.g. the “Legend of Tom Onki” produced by YouTube. By using ONKI and URIs better semantic recommendations could be provided!

ONKI service contains national and international ontologies published as services for human users and for machines through AJAX and Web Service APIs. The system is being used in several mash-up applications at SeCo and outside of it. For more information, see ONKI site and the home page at SeCo.
