ANN: myOntology Prototype Available

Dear all:

We are proud to announce the public release of the myOntology platform 
for collaborative ontology engineering.

[1] Platform: http://myontology.deri.at/prototype
[2] Primer: 
http://www.myontology.org/docs/releaseprimer-myontology-ksiorpaes-20080617.pdf
[3] Project: http://www.myontology.org

Some features:
+ Wiki-based creation of persistent, dereferencable URIs for classes, 
datatype and object properties, and ontological significant instances
+ OWL import and export: You can upload existing OWL ontologies and use 
myOntology as a persistent place of publication, and you can export OWL 
serialization of myOntology ontology modules
+ Use of multimedia elements (images, videos, sound files) for 
communicating the intended meaning of a conceptual element
+ Expandable background mechanisms (similar to Wikipedia special pages) 
that help the community spot potential improvements of the ontology 
(e.g. list of incomplete definitions, ...)

Your feedback is very welcome!

Best wishes

Martin
