"EKOSS (Engineering/Environmental Knowledge Ontology-based Semantic Search) has been developed for sharing expert knowledge using semantic web technologies. The website provides a collaborative knowledge sharing environment where knowledge experts can submit advertisements of the knowledge resources that they have developed, such as research papers, databases and computer simulation models. "

Zhe Research Group Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW) is hosted by the Chair of Business Information Systems (BIS) of the Institute of Computer Science (IfI) / University of Leipzig as well as the Institute for Applied Informatics (InfAI). Development of methods, tools and applications for adaptive Knowledge Engineering in the context of the Semantic Web Research of underlying Semantic Web technologies and development of fundamental Semantic Web tools and applications Maturation of strategies for fruitfully combining the Social Web paradigms with semantic knowledge representation techniques

The latest project by Stephen Wolfram is defined as the first "computational knowledge engine", something capable of answering factual question for you. The Wolfram engine is described as "a proprietary system based on fields of knowledge, containing terabytes of curated data and millions of lines of algorithms to represent real-world knowledge as we know it".

KSL conducts research in the areas of knowledge representation and automated reasoning in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. Current work focuses on enabling technology for the Semantic Web, hybrid reasoning, explaining answers from heterogeneous applications, deductive question-answering, representing and reasoning with multiple contexts, knowledge aggregation, ontology engineering, and knowledge-based technology for intelligence analysts and other knowledge workers.

Two days ago Stephen Wolfram gave an early preview of his "computational knowledge engine" Wolfram Alpha at a talk at Harvard University. The video of the whole presentation (1h 45min long) is here above, while down below you can find some highlights I transcripted from his speech.

Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW) The Research Group Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW) is hosted by the Chair of Business Information Systems (BIS) of the Institute of Computer Science (IfI) / University of Leipzig as well as the Institute for Applied Informatics (InfAI). It consists of the three subgroups Emergent Semantics, Machine Learning and Ontology Engineering, and Semantic Abstraction.

The International Association for Ontology and its Applications is a non-profit organization the purpose of which is to promote interdisciplinary research and international collaboration at the intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive science, and computer science, as well as in the applications of ontological analysis to conceptual modeling, knowledge engineering, knowledge management, information-systems development, library and information science, scientific research, and semantic technologies in general.

"Wikidata is a collaboratively edited knowledge base hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. It is a common source of open data that Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia can use,[4][5] and anyone else, under a public domain license. The used data model is the Resource Description Framework. Wikidata is powered by the software Wikibase.[6]"
