Welcome to the OntoSelect Ontology Library

OntoSelect monitors the web to provide an access point for ontologies on any possible topic or domain that is automatically updated, organized in a meaningful way and with support for ontology search and selection. Selected ontologies may be used for instance in:

knowledge markup for Semantic Web applications
semantic tagging for Natural Language Processing systems

Ontology Search, Selection and Browsing

OntoSelect provides the following search, selection and browsing options:

ontology search ... which ontology fits best to this topic?
multilingual labels ... are there ontologies with class/property labels in languages other than English?
top labels ... which class/property labels are most frequently used across ontologies?

Ontology Publishing

Publish your ontology on OntoSelect by using the submit option.
