Abstract

As web is becoming the most important communication medium, the new requirements arise to enhance and control that communication. Standard full-text methods are not satisfactory jar such difficult task, therefore new approaches are required. In this paper we present the Webocracy project which aims at web based supporting direct participation of citizens in democratic processes. We use domain modelling and documents annotations to improve communication between citizens and local authorities. At first we show how domain model can help in this process. Then we describe our requirements on such a domain model. In the last part Protege 2000 ontology editor is introduced. We made some changes to it to increase the user-friendliness, such as localisation and graphical view of domain model. Finally our method of modelling relations is showed, because Protege 2000 doesn't support them and we found them important in modelling of real world.
