Microsoft Rubs Shoulders with Open Source
Microsoft and the Creative Commons turned up at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference and released an Ontology Add-in for Microsoft Office Word 2007 so authors can add scientific hyperlinks as semantic annotations, drawn from ontologies, to their documents and research papers.
Ontologies are shared vocabularies created and maintained by different academic domains to model their fields of study.
The Add-in is supposed to make it easier for scientists to link their documents to the web in what Microsoft called “a meaningful way.”
