Challenges and ObstaclesChallenges and Obstacles Resistance to adoption of DAML+OIL

Use of models at runtime is alien concept to mainstream software engineers What does the increased expressiveness of DAML buy me? How does DAML fit with OMG Model Driven Architecture?

Extending UML to Support Ontology Engineering for the Semantic Web UML2001

Barriers to adoption of DAML+OIL Desperately need Agents and Ontologies textbook targeted at practitioners What agent infrastructure should I choose?

OAA, JADE, FIPA-OS, CoABS Grid, EMAA, XSB, JESS...

Technical issues: which words in a text should be annotated?

web search vs. complex question answering what is a good graphical representation for manual annotation refinement? how can theorem provers be transparently integrated into a DAML consistency
