New SW Use Case by KISTI

Kisti, in Korea, has provided a W3C Semantic Web Use Case on the OntoFrame 2008 semantic portal service on academic research. The goal of the service is to provide connection, fusion, and analysis services on academic research information to enable scientists to effectively obtain information. The portal, using technologies like RDF, OWL, or SPARQL, does more than improved search; it also provides a visualization based interface to convey data on the identification of leading researchers or research institutes for a particular topic, main research focus of a given researcher, researcher publication network, statistics of accomplishments in a particular topic area, and geographical distribution of researchers specialized in a given topic.
