We present a national ontology development and service framework being developed in Finland in 2003-2007. The framework is based on a set of related core ontologies, most nota-bly on a national upper ontology based on the commonly used Finnish General Thesaurus YSA maintained by the National Library of Finland. The framework implements three on-tology services by a web-based system ONKI. Firstly, ONKI supports distributed collabora-tive development and versioning of interde-pendent ontologies.
