Release roadmap for Plone Ontology…
Project Description
PloneOntology collaboratively maintains a relationally structured vocabulary of keywords for content classification, searching and navigation. The terms of the vocabulary are networked by arbitrary relationships and thus form a thesaurus for an ontology. In addition to the hierachical parent/child relationships found in taxonomies also e.g. synonyms, antonyms or translations may be referenced.Features:
- Find directly and more distantly related content.
- Navigate through content by keywords and their relations.
- Relation graph visualization with Graphviz.
- Keyword and relation names from the unicode character set.
- Collaboratively build, extend and manage ontologies with the CMS tools within Plone, as the keywords are Archetypes content objects.
- Terms and relations to other terms may be proposed by users and peer-reviewed and decided upon by dedicated reviewers through a workflow.
- Allowed relation names for users to choose from (parent, child, synonym, etc.) are defined as a site policy.
- Relation properties such as inversity, symmetry or cardinality may be specified and are automatically maintained by Relations.
- OWL import/export of the ontology.
