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.
You can also access any of the available ontologies or vocabularies with the developer APIs listed below.
See if any of the available ontologies or vocabularies match your annotation needs by searching with the quick search below. Please observe the selected search language.
The following ONKI services have been released, yet their content is being developed mostly during the project following FinnONTO 2.0.
Metadata schema documentation as machine-readable schema descriptions for systems created in the FinnONTO projects.
Datasets published by FinnONTO projects in machine-readable formats (RDF and Linked Data) as well as API access using SPARQL.
ONKI helps you to link your data globally, making it compatible with the semantic web. Check following links:
