From Free net encyclopedia
GNOWSYS, Gnowledge Networking and Organizing System, is a web application for developing and maintaining semantic web content developed in Python. It works as an installed product in Zope.
The application provides generic classes, viz. metatype, relation type, object type, object, relation, attribute, etc., for developing semantic web content and gnowledge organization. It is intended to develop as a powerful prototype application demonstrating the potential of an expert system within the paradigm of object-oriented database technology. Presently it can import/export the content in the form of XTM (XML Topic Maps), OWL (Web Ontology Language), and its developers are working towards providing support for CL (common logic), CG (concept graphs) and other such standard knowledge represenatation schemes.
The application can be used for web-based knowledge representation and content management projects, for developing structured knowledge bases, as a collaborative authoring tool, suitable for making electronic glossaries, dictionaries and encyclopedias, for managing large web sites or links, developing an online catalogue for a library of any thing including books, to make ontologies, classifying and networking any objects etc. This tool is intended to be used also for an on-line tutoring system with dependency management system between various concepts.
