1. The document discusses the NeOn project, which aims to develop an infrastructure for managing the lifecycle of networked ontologies and building semantic applications.
2. The NeOn Toolkit provides tools and techniques for ontology engineering and management across the ontology lifecycle and supports building applications using networked ontologies.
3. Two case studies involving networked ontologies in the pharmaceutical industry are described: facilitating invoice interoperability and developing a semantic nomenclature for integrating drug information across Spain.

PharmaInnova provides members with shared invoice model and platform that relieve them from caring about tedious invoicing tasks Since they usually lack their own solutions, specially useful for Small and middle size providers who want to make business with laboratories Laboratories who want to make business with large vendors and wholesalers Entry barriers are still high in order to comply with PharmaInnova specifications Adopt PharmaInnova’s approach from scratch or build costly wrappers that transform electronic invoices from their native format and model to PharmaInnova’s Engineers dedicated to implementing such wrappers Members’ staff dedicated to validating issued invoices and reviewing them
