 ===== Object Ontology generated from an Online Shop =====
+Online shops can provide valuable information about objects and their properties. The package comp_germandeli contains an OWL ontology that has been generated from the [[http://www.germandeli.com|GermanDeli online shop]], selling German products in the US. It can be loaded into KnowRob and expands the 'objects' branch of the ontology with about 7,000 additional classes.

 ===== Exchanging Information via RoboEarth =====
+[[http://www.roboearth.org|RoboEarth]] is a web-based database for exchanging information between robots via the Internet. The content of the database can be searched using a [[http://api.roboearth.org|web interface]] as well as using a [[http://api.roboearth.org/documentation/dev|REST-style API]]. The following examples show some tools that can interact with RoboEarth; the first two are graphical editors that can up-and download information to and from RoboEarth, the latter is a query interface that directly loads the information into KnowRob.
 ==== RoboEarth-enabled Semantic Map Editor ====
-The [[http://knowrob.org/doc/semantic_map_editor|Semantic Map Editor]] can read and write information from/to RoboEarth. To get an impression, search for room '3001' and download the 'semmap.iaskitchen'.

 ===== Remote Web-based Knowledge Processing =====
+The [[http://knowrob.org/doc/marker_visualization|web-based visualization canvas]] allows to interact with KnowRob via the Web by sending queries and visualizing their results. The setup is a bit complicated since Web servers are not installable purely via ROS, and opening a Prolog console to the world can be a security leak. However, for controlled environments, you can find the [[http://knowrob.org/doc/marker_visualization#installation|installation instructions]] and [[http://knowrob.org/doc/marker_visualization#example_queries|example queries]] here.
