PIMO Service

The PimoService is an implementation of the PIMO (see ​PIMO Technical Report), which is an improved manifestation of the Wikitology idea.

• Interface: source:branches/gnowsis0.9/gnowsis-server/src/java/org/gnowsis/pimo/PimoService.java
• JavaDoc: ​PimoService.html

It allows the user to create things, classes and properties in his personal information model and link them together or to other (external) resources and things.

Tasks of the PIMO-Service:

• during the first start of the system, the PIMO-Service creates and instance of Pimo-Person for the user and hangs it to the pimo-model.

some useful facts:

• While the given labels are preserved, the URIs may differ due to syntax restrictions.
• It is possible to create different things with the same name.
• It is NOT possible to create different classes with the same name.

The PIMO does support inference, where we use full t-box inferencing but you have to do a-box inferencing on retrieval. more see here:

Managing Domain Ontologies

Adding ontologies, removing ontologies, updating ontologies is implemented in the PimoService. A convenient interface to these functions is implemented in the web-gui:

A list of ontologies that work with gnowsis is at DomainOntologies.
