added links and explaination about domain ontologies

Domain Ontologies

To work with gnowsis, an ontology has to conform to the PIMO ontology language, see PimOntology. It is not possible to upload non-conformant RDFS ontologies to gnowsis, the reason for this strict checking is that most RDFS or OWL ontologies aren't correct RDFS or OWL anyway.

To upload ontologies to the gnowsis and to manage them, start gnowsis and go to this page on your local installation: ontology manager.

Available Ontologies:

FOAF

The FOAF vocabulary, run by Dan Brickley and Libby Miller, is one of the most successfull ontologies on the semantic web. Foaf-Person is matched as a super-class of PIMO-Person and we added "fixing" properties as inverses to all foaf properties. Note that these "fixing" properties are a bad hack and will probably cause trouble sometime. We need the inverse though for gnowsis.

Foaf is ported to PIMO and available in the gnowsis-server project SVN, a copy (not the latest) is here:

The uri inside the model is:

GEO Vocab

The GEO vocabulary is used to reference geo-positions. The original version by Dan Brickley is here at W3-GEO.

GO is ported to PIMO and available in the gnowsis-server project SVN, a copy (not the latest) is here:
