                                    ABSTRACT
In this talk a methodology and a set of techniques are presented for semantic based
discovery and management of digital contents, Web Services, Software artifacts, and mobile devices.
In particular, a technique is presented for semantic based Information Retrieval of 
semantically annotated documents and web sites, based on natural language query processing at 
syntactical level, from which semantic patterns are heuristically determined, and
are matched (using graph based matching algorithms) against domain ontologies, in order to 
extract an ontology based representation of the user query.
A technique is presented to Semantic web service discovery based on Structural Ontology matching, and on Ontology 
based description of Algorithmic patterns describing implementations of Software artifacts.
A technique for collaborative, ontology-based annotations of multimedia documents is also described.
Finally a technique to automatically derive domain ontologies from document corpora based on hierarchical clustering is devised.
