Abstract:
When a house is damaged, the house owner needs to quickly seek help from specialized craftsmen. Unfortunately, the complex structure of craft services and the lack of specialized knowledge make this task more difficult than it should be. To solve this problem, a standardized categorization of craftsmen and craft services has been developed in form of the German Crafts and Craftsmen Ontology (GeCCO). In this paper, an easy-to-use web-based tool for browsing and searching the ontology while taking advantage of all its semantic features is presented. Furthermore, a method for combining the ontology with a standard geographical web search tool is presented.
