%0 Journal Article %T Ontology as a Backbone of the Enterprise Information Systems and Current Applications in Czech Republic %A Vojtech Kusy %J Journal of Systems Integration %D 2013 %I Czech Society of Systems Integration %X In this paper I¡¯m describing the basics of the ontology which is well-known term for the knowledge management workers or researchers. However, it is still not well-known in the other areas. I¡¯m covering the most typical use cases and roles of ontologies in the enterprise information systems with a special section about the ontology-powered projects in Czech Republic. At the end I¡¯m trying to answer the question where we are now and what is the expected future development in this area. %K ontology %K Semantic Web %K Linked Data %K enterprise information system %K e-Government %K ontology applications %K Czech Republic %U http://si-journal.org/index.php/JSI/article/viewFile/155/120
