Abstract
The Internet and the open connectivity environments created a strong demand for the sharing of data semantics, as in e-commerce, interoperability, search and retrieval, bioinformatics, e-Government, digital libraries, HR, and many others. Ontologies are used to represent a shared understanding (i.e., semantics) of a certain domain. By sharing an ontology, autonomous and distributed applications can meaningfully communicate to exchange data and make transactions interoperate independently of their internal technologies.Although building domain ontologies received a great attention in the past years, especially in data integration and interoperability, however, less attention is given to linguistic ontologies, which are becoming popular in multilingual and multicultural search engines as well as linked data. This talk overviews the importance of linguistic (and multilingual) ontologies and discuss the challenges related to building and engineering them. The talk will also overview the achievements and faced challenges in building the Arabic Ontology, a long-term project at Birzeit University to articulate the concepts (i.e., multiple meanings) of all terms in the Arabic language, and to formalize their relationships
