!!! 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.
