Knowledge Management
Using the Semantic Web paradigm, MERMIG delivers to its users content/data defined in the standard Web manner and linked in a way which can allow more effective discovery, integration and reuse across various applications.
The use of the Semantic Web philosophy, allows the content uploaded on MERMIG to contain resources corresponding to ordinary Web pages, images, audio clips, etc. as in the current Web.
In addition, it allows the introduction of objects such as people, places, organizations and events. This approach makes possible the definition and use of many types of different relations between resources, instead of the single type of relation used today (i.e. hyperlink). These different types of relations are defined in the ontology in use.
