KAON Totally Explained

Everything about Kaon totally explained

ť This is an article on the KAON ontology infrastructure. For particle physics, see Kaon.

KAON (Karlsruhe ontology) is an ontology infrastructure developed by the University of Karlsruhe and the Research Center for Information Technologies in Karlsruhe. Its first incarnation was developed in 2002 and supported an enhanced version of RDF ontologies. Several tools like the graphical ontology editor OIModeler or the KAON Server were based on KAON.
   There are ontology learning companion tools which take non-annotated natural language text as input: TextToOnto (KAON-based) and Text2Onto (KAON2-based). Information about Text2Onto exists on the web.
   In 2005, the first version of KAON2 was released, offering fast reasoning support for OWL ontologies. KAON2 isn't backward-compatible with KAON. KAON2 is developed in the School of Computer Science of the University of Manchester.
   Text2Onto "is based on a probabilistic ontology model" (source

).
KAON, TextToOnto, and Text2Onto are open source, based on Java. KAON2 isn't open source (source

), but the executable can be downloaded from the KAON2 site.
