Real-time access to complex knowledge is a business driver in the contact centre environment. In this paper we outline for the domain of telecom technical product support a knowledge sharing paradigm in which a desktop client annotates named entities in technical documents with canonical names, class names or relevant class axioms, derived from an ontology by means of a web services framework. We described the system and its core components; OWL-DL telecom hardware ontology, ontological-natural language processing pipeline, an ontology axiom‐extractor; and the Semantic Assistants framework.
