NeOn aims to dramatically improve the support for ontology engineering, by developing both a reference architecture and a concrete toolkit supporting the ontology engineering lifecycle. Specifically, NeOn aims to be the foundational platform for the construction of very large semantic applications by facilitating the creation, management and evolution of networks of ontologies. It is envisaged that this approach will dramatically improve the cost-effectiveness of large-scale ontology engineering, by removing the need for a complete integration of pre-existing ontologies in an application, which is always expensive and often unfeasible.
