Welcome to the Finnish Ontology Library Service ONKI!

The ONKI service contains Finnish and international ontologies, vocabularies and thesauri needed for publishing your content cost-efficiently on the Semantic Web. Ontologies are conceptual models identifying the concepts of a domain. They contain machine "understandable" descriptions of the relations between the concepts.

ONKI is published and maintained by Semantic Computing Research Group SeCo. It is part of the on-going project to build a national semantic web infrastructure to Finland (FinnONTO).

Browse and search all available ontologies and vocabularies with this online user interface. The ontologies and vocabularies are listed on the front page of this service.
