Managing ontologies and annotated data throughout their life-cycles is at the core of semantic systems of all kinds. This book describes relevant tasks, practical and theoretical challenges, limitations and methodologies, and software tools. It discusses integrating the conceptual and technical dimensions with a business view on using ontologies.
