Main research&development tools created

WebKB-2. A knowledge base server enabling people or agents to store and tightly interconnect their knowledge into a large knowledge base without having to agree on terminology or facts.

On May 12th 2004, the Multi-Source Ontology (MSO) of WebKB-2 is adopted by the Standard Upper Ontology (SUO) working group as a material to study/re-use.
The main part of WebKB-2 has been developed under contract with the DSTC (Distributed Systems Technology Center; previous W3C's Australian Office; DSTC closed in June 2006) from January 2000 to August 2003.
