You can find an initial blog about my Family History KB at http://robertdavidstevens.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/the-family-history-knowledge-base/ and there are more recent blogs that have highlighted some things about this OWL KB. faCT++ could manage it) It's been used as the basis for an advanced tutorial in OWL - it maximises inference and also doesn't work in interesting ways. I think it's nice to look at, but for actualy, practical applicaitons I wouldn't do it this way at the moment. The thing about this FHKB is that it was designed to maximise inference - it works, but runs like a very slow thing. (last time I checked only FaCT++ worked). However, the property hierarchy could be re-used in other settings with ease. One could even attached rules to infer the same relationships... For my FHKB I very deliberately used euro-centric nomenclature for relationships. My friend John Goodwin did his family as linked data: http://johngoodwin225.wordpress.com/ On 30/11/2012 18:25, David Shotton wrote: > Robert Stevens at the University of Manchester (cc'd) has done a > considerable amount of work mapping family relationships to RDF.
