- QUOTE: This chapter is about ontologies, that is, knowledge models of a domain of interest. We introduce ontologies, view them from the perspective of several fields of knowledge, and present existing ontologies and the different tasks of ontology building, learning, matching, mapping and merging.

- QUOTE: … As the number of ontologies that are made publicly available and accessible on the Web increases steadily, so does the need for applications to use them. A single ontology is no longer enough to support the tasks envisaged by a distributed environment like the Semantic Web. Multiple ontologies need to be accessed from several applications. Mapping could provide a common layer from which several ontologies could be accessed and hence could exchange information in semantically sound manners. Developing such mappings has been the focus of a variety of works originating from diverse communities over a number of years.
