Abstract: We consider the Internet knowledge portal that provides intelligent analysis and integration of knowledge and information resources for the study of thermal properties of materials, including organic and inorganic materials in a wide temperature range. The portal provides a systematization and integration of available information resources in a single information space. The use of ontology to describe the domain of the portal allows to structure its content semantically and organize it for navigation and meaningful information search. For the development of this portal a technology oriented to a subject domain experts is used. The portal includes a system to import data from files to a database (DB) which can be local or remote. Resources developed on the basis of free software products are used to display the data as interactive graphs using smoothing algorithms, interpolation and approximation.

Keywords: Knowledge portal, thermophysical properties of materials, information resources, ontology, meaningful search, ontology-driven navigation.
