Introduction

This guide is intended to provide support for first time OntoWiki users.

It assumes that you have a working installation.

For a longer and more visual introduction, watch our webinar.

First Login

If you start with a new ontowiki installation, you have only one pre-created account: Admin. This account does not have a password, so you need to change this!!

  • Login with Admin and empty password
  • Click on User > Preferences in the Main Box (upper left side)
  • Change the password and email

First Model

After that, you should create a new knowledge base. A good example is the AKSW webpage knowledge base which consists of persons, projects and other related material from the AKSW research group.

  • Login with Admin user (if not already done)
  • Click on the menu entry Edit > Create Knowledge Base in the Knowledge Bases box
  • Download the dataset
  • Select "Upload from file"
  • Fill in the Model URI http://aksw.org/ and select the downloaded file
  • Submit

After importing the knowledge base, you can browse persons, projects and other classes.

By default, every new user (and the anonymous user) can read every model but the two system models. So if you logout now, you have anonymous access to your new model. If you don't like that, you need to change that in your configuration model.

Preconfigured Knowledge Bases

A new OntoWiki has two installed Knowledge Bases:

  • http://ns.ontowiki.net/SysOnt/ is the global system ontology which describe OntoWiki configuration concepts.
  • http://localhost/OntoWiki/Config/ is your local configuration model. It imports the global system ontology. Registered Users and ((AccessControl access control configuration)) will be saved here.

common work flows (todo)

Here should be an overview which work flows are exists. For everyone a picture and a lightweight description. Maybe let base workflows on concepts from Introduction

  • create an empty model + a class + instances
  • view instance lists and single instances: explain what you will see
  • modify an instance using rdfauthor
  • browse the data using our cool modules and show as list buttons
  • how to use the query editor
  • how to use the community features
  • how to use the versioning
  • enable and configure extensions: for example datagathering and linked data server (?)
