Semantic Web applications call for the knowledge base counterparts of
hyperlinked documents so that independently created ontology modules
can be flexibly linked and reused to meet the needs of specific
applications, users, or contexts. We argue that ontology languages and
tools should support selective knowledge sharing, accommodate
reconciliation of multiple points of view about the world, and provide
distributed reasoning services based on well-defined semantics and a
sound proof theory. Against this background, this talk will give a
brief overview of the techniques provided by Package-based Description
Logics on modeling modular and contextualized knowledge bases.
