- <em><a href="#ontology">ontologies<a/></em> to describe the conceptual
- aspects of structured <em><a href="#resource">resources</a></em>,
- e.g., information sources such as data sets and services (workflows,
- actors, and web-services). Each resource is assumed to have a well
- defined schema that describes the structure of associated data (in the
- case of services, e.g., inputs and outputs). In addition to providing
- metadata for resources, ontology-based semantic annotations can enable
- improved discovery and integration of data.

- <p> Properly describing the semantics of a resource often requires
- "fine-grain" annotation, in which different parts of the resource are
- annotated with distinct semantic information, possibly including the
- assertion of semantic relations among the parts. The challenge is to
- provide an appropriate language for accessing, annotating, and
- relating portions of resources. This technical note describes basic
- aspects of <em><a href="#template">semantic annotation
- templates</a></em>, which are designed to support these fine-grain
- resource annotations.
