/**
 * What to do on ?format=rdf  What to do on ?format=owl
 *
 * Map relations on a wikipage to a RDF ressource to build a "Semantic Web" 
 * - a web ontology frontend compatible to OWL (web ontology language).
 * http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Activity
 * Simple RDF ontologies contain facts and rules, expressed by RDF triples:
 *   Subject (page) -> Predicate (verb, relation) -> Object (links)
 * OWL extents that to represent a typical OO framework. 
 *  OO predicates: 
 *    is_a, has_a, ...
 *  OWL predicates:
 *    subClassOf, restrictedBy, onProperty, intersectionOf, allValuesFrom, ...
 *    someValuesFrom, unionOf, equivalentClass, disjointWith, ...
 *    plus the custom vocabulary (ontology): canRun, canBite, smellsGood, ...
 *  OWL Subjects: Class, Restriction, ...
 *  OWL Properties: type, label, comment, ...
 * DAML should also be supported.
 *
 * Purpose:
 * - Another way to represent various KB models in various DL languages. (OWL/DAML/other DL)
 * - Frontend to various KB model reasoners and representations. 
 * - Generation/update of static wiki pages based on external OWL/DL/KB (=> ModelTest/Categories)
 *   KB Blackboard and Visualization.
 * - OWL generation based on static wiki pages (ModelTest?format=owl)
 *
 * Facts: (may be represented by special links on a page)
 *  - Each page must be representable with an unique URL.
 *  - Each fact must be representable with an unique RDF triple.
 *  - A class is represented by a category page.
 *  - To represent more expressive description logic, "enriched" 
 *    links will not be enough (? variable symbolic objects).
 *
 * Rules: (may be represented by special content on a page)
 *  - Syntax: reasoner backend specific, or common or ?
 *
 * RDF Triple: (representing facts)
 *   Subject (page) -> Predicate (verb, relation) -> Object (links)
 * Subject: a page
 * Verb: 
 *   Special link qualifiers represent RDF triples, based on RDF standard notation.
 *   See RDF standard DTD's on daml.org and w3.org, plus your custom predicates. 
 *   (need your own DTD)
 *   Example: page [Ape] isa:Animal, ...
 * Object: special links on a page.
 * Class: WikiCategory
 * Model: Basepage for a KB. (parametrizeable pages or copies of modified snapshots?)
 *
 * DL: Description Logic
 * KB: Knowledge Base
 *
 * Discussion:
 * Of course *real* expert systems ("reasoners") will help/must be used in
 * optimization and maintainance of the SemanticWeb KB (Knowledge
 * Base). Hooks will be tested to KM (an interactive KB playground),
 * LISA (standard unifier), FaCT, RACER, ... 

 * Maybe also ZEBU (parser generator) is needed to convert the wiki KB
 * syntax to the KB reasoner backend (LISA, KM, CLIPS, JESS, FaCT,
 * ...) and forth.

 * pOWL is a simple php backend with some very simple AI logic in PHP,
 * though I strongly doubt the usefulness of reasoners not written in
 * Common Lisp.
 *
 * SEAL (omntoweb.org) is similar to that, just on top of the Zope CMF.
 * FaCT uses e.g. this KB DTD:
<!ELEMENT KNOWLEDGEBASE (DEFCONCEPT|DEFROLE|IMPLIESC|EQUALC|IMPLIESR|EQUALR|TRANSITIVE|FUNCTIONAL)*> 
<!ELEMENT CONCEPT (PRIMITIVE|TOP|BOTTOM|AND|OR|NOT|SOME|ALL|ATMOST|ATLEAST)> 
<!ELEMENT ROLE (PRIMROLE|INVROLE)> 
... (facts and rules described in XML)
 *

 *   http://phpwiki.org/SemanticWeb, 
 *   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_representation
 *   http://www.ontoweb.org/
 *   http://www.semwebcentral.org/ (OWL on top of GForge)
