| Abstract | Knowledge intensive sectors, such as the pharmaceutical, have typically to face the problem of dealing with heterogeneous and vast amounts of information. In these scenarios discovery, integration and easy access to the knowledge are the most important factors. The use of semantics to classify meaningfully the information and to bridge the gap between the different representations that different stakeholders have is widely accepted [1]. The problem arises when the ontologies used to model the domain become too large and unmanageable. The current status of the technology does not allow to easily working with this type of ontologies. In this paper we propose the use of networked ontologies to solve these problems for the particular case scenario of the pharmaceutical sector in Spain. Instead of using a single ontology, the idea is to break the model in several meaningful pieces and bind them together using a networked ontology model for representing and managing relations between multiple ontologies. The Semantic Nomenclature is a case study that is currently under development in the $NeOn^{1}$ EC funded FP6 project [2]. Our approach is that of the integration of the large quantity of information about pharmaceutical products provided by a wide range of actors in the Spanish pharmaceutical sector using networked ontologies. Cover the profound lack of systematization for creating, maintaining and updating drug-related information, the creation of a common reference ontology about drugs, the provision of easy mechanisms for discovery, model and mapping of new sources of information in a collaborative way, and the ability to reason on the context of user and ontologies in order to facilitate the mapping and retrieving processes, are among the main goal of this case study that will be further developed in the present paper. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
