Fast content analyses for enhanced equity trading: 2,1 Million for TOWL project

In April 2006 a new research project co-financed by the European Union has started off. TOWL (Time-determined Ontology Web Language) is funded under the Sixth Framework Programme. The project is coordinated by the Technical University of Crete and is due to run until 2008.

The TOWL project will set the benchmark for the next generation content analyses to institutional equities services, investors and corporates. Faster automatic analyses of corporate-, market and global news will become crucial in order to deliver equity trading performance. The TOWL project goal is to deliver a dynamic content environment for the stock broker markets. TOWL is a research project that expands the current state of the art ontology languages OWL (Ontology Web Language, RDF-S (Resource Description Framework - Schema), RDF (Resource Description Framework) and their support for automated reasoning by adding the time dimension to enable real time context aware information analysis. This technology will provide ontology based (semantic) information systems to venture beyond a static world and add the concepts of time and change. As part of the project plan, TOWL will be delivered to the open standard community. The Sixth Framework Programme funds projects about “Information Society Technologies” and in particular the following: Applied IST Research addressing major societal and economic challenges; Communication, computing and software technologies; Components and Microsystems; Knowledge and Interface Technologies; Future and emerging Technologies; Research Networking Test-beds and General Accompanying Actions.
