Kurzfassung
The Semantic Web aims at easy integration and usage of content by
building on a semi-structured data model where data semantics are
explicitly specified through ontologies. The use of ontologies in
real-world applications such as community portals has shown that a
new level of data independence is required for ontology-based
applications for example to allow the customization of information
towards the needs of other agents. This requires control over the
republishing of data and requires transformation of data across
source databases. We address this issue and introduce external
ontologies which are constituted of source data from several
databases and views spanning across databases.
