A Nice SW Application Example
Baby CareLink
URI:
http://www.babycarelink.com/
centre of information for the treatment of premature babies
provides an OWL service
as a Web Service
remember: ontology is hard!
combines disparate vocabularies like medical, insurance, etc
users can add new entries to ontologies
complex questions can be asked through the service
(replaces using nurses at call centres)
perfect example for the synergy of Web Services and the Semantic Web!
