3 * What to do on ?format=rdf What to do on ?format=owl
5 * Map relations on a wikipage to a RDF ressource to build a "Semantic Web"
6 * - a web ontology frontend compatible to OWL (web ontology language).
7 * http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Activity
8 * Simple RDF ontologies contain facts and rules, expressed by RDF triples:
9 * Subject (page) -> Predicate (verb, relation) -> Object (links)
10 * OWL extents that to represent a typical OO framework.
14 * subClassOf, restrictedBy, onProperty, intersectionOf, allValuesFrom, ...
15 * someValuesFrom, unionOf, equivalentClass, disjointWith, ...
16 * plus the custom vocabulary (ontology): canRun, canBite, smellsGood, ...
17 * OWL Subjects: Class, Restriction, ...
18 * OWL Properties: type, label, comment, ...
19 * DAML should also be supported.
22 * - Another way to represent various KB models in various DL languages.
24 * - Frontend to various KB model reasoners and representations.
25 * - Generation/update of static wiki pages based on external OWL/DL/KB
26 * (=> ModelTest/Categories)
27 * KB Blackboard and Visualization.
28 * - OWL generation based on static wiki pages (ModelTest?format=owl)
30 * Facts: (may be represented by special links on a page)
31 * - Each page must be representable with an unique URL.
32 * - Each fact must be representable with an unique RDF triple.
33 * - A class is represented by a category page.
34 * - To represent more expressive description logic, "enriched"
35 * links will not be enough (? variable symbolic objects).
37 * Rules: (may be represented by special content on a page)
38 * - Syntax: reasoner backend specific, or common or ?
40 * RDF Triple: (representing facts)
41 * Subject (page) -> Predicate (verb, relation) -> Object (links)
44 * Special link qualifiers represent RDF triples, based on RDF standard notation.
45 * See RDF standard DTD's on daml.org and w3.org, plus your custom predicates.
47 * Example: page [Ape] isa:Animal, ...
48 * Object: special links on a page.
50 * Model: Basepage for a KB. (parametrizeable pages or copies of modified snapshots?)
52 * DL: Description Logic
56 * Of course *real* expert systems ("reasoners") will help/must be used in
57 * optimization and maintainance of the SemanticWeb KB (Knowledge
58 * Base). Hooks will be tested to KM (an interactive KB playground),
59 * LISA (standard unifier), FaCT, RACER, ...
61 * Maybe also ZEBU (parser generator) is needed to convert the wiki KB
62 * syntax to the KB reasoner backend (LISA, KM, CLIPS, JESS, FaCT,
65 * pOWL is a simple php backend with some very simple AI logic in PHP,
66 * though I strongly doubt the usefulness of reasoners not written in
69 * SEAL (omntoweb.org) is similar to that, just on top of the Zope CMF.
70 * FaCT uses e.g. this KB DTD:
71 <!ELEMENT KNOWLEDGEBASE (DEFCONCEPT|DEFROLE|IMPLIESC|EQUALC|IMPLIESR|EQUALR|TRANSITIVE|FUNCTIONAL)*>
72 <!ELEMENT CONCEPT (PRIMITIVE|TOP|BOTTOM|AND|OR|NOT|SOME|ALL|ATMOST|ATLEAST)>
73 <!ELEMENT ROLE (PRIMROLE|INVROLE)>
74 ... (facts and rules described in XML)
