Abstract
Semantic web technologies show great promise in usage scenarios that involve information logistics. This paper is an experience report on improving the semantic web ontology underlying an application used in expert finding. We use ontology design patterns to find and correct poor design choices, and align the application ontology to commonly used semantic web ontologies in order to increase the interoperability of the ontology and application. Lessons learned and problems faced are discussed, and possible future developments of the project mapped out.
