GNOWSYS: A Free Semantic Knowledge Studio
The presentation is about an experimental free software project, GNOWSYS: GNOWledge networking and organizing SYStem. GNOWSYS is a specification and an implementation of modeling knowledge as a network and study the structure and dynamics. The structure is encoded as atoms of triples that can be further organized into classes, metaTypes and tokens at one level, and ontologies at another level. The challenge is to address question of the evolution of both data and ontologies in a ‘single’ distributed networking space.
