Abstract
Cultural Resource Management (CRM) represents an interesting application domain for innovative approaches, models and technologies developed by computer science researchers. This paper presents NavEditOW, a system for the navigation, query and updating of ontologies through the web, as a tool providing suitable functionalities for the design and development of semantic portals in the CRM area. NavEditOW supports ontology maintainers, content editors, and end-users, that have little or no specific knowledge on Semantic Web technologies and on related formal tools. A description of the application of the tool to the representation and management of archaeological knowledge for the description of publications in an e-library is also provided.
