We aim to overcome this knowledge acquisition bottleneck by reusing ontologies that are freely available online as a result of research in the Semantic Web area. Relying on this reuse-based paradigm, we have built several knowledge intensive applications addressing tasks as varied as improving search in folksonomies or open domain question answering. In this talk I will describe these applications and I will share our conclusions about the characteristics of online ontologies when used as a knowledge resource. ********* Time: Monday, 30th January 2012, 6.30 p.m. sharp Location: Oesterreichisches Forschungsinstitut fuer Artificial Intelligence, OFAI Freyung 6, Stiege 6, 1010 Wien.
