There is, however, still a long way to go transfer the Semantic Web from an academic adventure into a technology provided by software industry. Supporting this transition process of Ontology technology from Academia to Industry is the main and major goal of Knowledge Web, the Network of Excellence under European Commission 6th FP. Outreach to Industry In particular, the Work Package Outreach to Industry focuses its efforts on promoting greater awareness and faster take- up of Semantic Web technology by industry.

Knowledge Web ©KnowledgeWeb – KnowledgeWeb O2I, Heraklio, 13-14 May 2004, Page 12 Industry Board MoU Basic principles –No interferences with current KW contract / Consortium Agreement (CA): just supplement to CA Knowledge Web Early Access Policy –The aim is to have a panel of industrial corporations, working as an informal group representative of a “laboratorial” target market where all can study industrial requirements, test the industrial value of their ideas and collect inspiration for new research opportunities. Setting-up and Accession –Any third parties may apply. The terms and conditions "Knowledge Web Early Access Policy" and the Application Form are to be available on-line. –Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA) will be authorised to sign with the Acceding third party on behalf of all contractors. Nonetheless, contractors have a two weeks term to express their opposition. Early Knowledge transfer –"Early Releases" ie. Results and deliverables from the KW technical committees, are to be made available to Panellists at the respective owners' discretion; preferably in the form of executable code or such other forms as do not give immediate access to confidential Knowledge. –Early Releases have to be treated as confidential by the Panellist, –The Panellists agree - To test the Early Releases diligently and to communicate to the Contractors sufficient progress and error reports, - To provide inputs such as but not limited to, recommendations, or industrial requirements, feedback to the Contractors in relation to its own use of the Semantic Web services & technology, O2I managers responsibility –ensuring timely achievement of the Panellists' tasks, –ensuring and organizing feedback and information for the benefit of all Contractors.

Suggested features of such repository: user-driven, with a template for developers of the applications to complete. (Work out categorization matrix for the template) ranking system as in W3C WG BPD (See the JAVA portal (proposal from UPM))
