!!! Creating an Ontology An ontology is created in a similar way as a d3web knowledge base using the ''knowledgebase'' markup. {{{ %%knowledgebase % }}} A more detailed description of this markup can be found on the page [Doc KnowledgeFormalization]. !! Creating Ontology Entities within the Local Namespace Ontologies in KnowWE are based on the RDF standard ([http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-rdf-syntax/]). In RDF every resource is identified by a full qualified URI name. For brevity, KnowWE uses shortened identifier such as ''rdf'' for ''http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#''. The resource ''http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type'' therefore is called ''rdf:type'' in KnowWE.
