SHOE Ontologies
Parallel Understanding Systems Group
Department of Computer Science
University of Maryland at College Park
Here we provide descriptions and links to existing SHOE ontologies.
Currently, the ontologies reflect concepts that we have come across in
applying SHOE to domains of our interest. Many of these ontologies are
in a draft stage, and we welcome your feedback to help us improve them.
If you wish to describe other domains, we encourage you to create your
own ontologies. If you would like to provide feedback or submit an
ontology to add to this list, please send e-mail to Jeff Heflin
(heflin@cs.umd.edu).
