1. A method of identifying resources in an organization, the method comprising:
- creating a problem set from a plurality of information sources;
defining an ontology for the problem set using the plurality of information sources;
according to the ontology, arranging one or more information sources into a relational network that includes metadata associated with the one or more information sources;
searching the problem set with a search engine; and
accessing the relational network with a user interface.

Abstract
Systems and techniques are presented to find or locate resources in an organization using ontology. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes a system with a plurity of information sources and ontology defined to relate the information sources in a problem set, where the problem set may include metadata. A language can be used to define the ontology, where the language can include rules, statements, and declarative semantics. A query is initiated in a user interface, and an ontology search engine is configured to search the information sources from the parameters of the query.
