The Semantic MediaWiki is one of the software tools to be evaluated by the Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG). The Semantic MediaWiki platform has been proposed by the Virtual Biodiversity Research and Access Network for Taxonomy (ViBRANT) as a user-friendly and easy to use platform for the collaborative development and definition of basic terms to be consolidated and included in one of the ratified Vocabulary of Terms to be included to the GBIF Resources Repository. GBIF has here installed a demo Semantic Wiki for the purpose of evaluation by the Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG). See also the description of terms at the Species-ID Wiki. An overview of the KOS tools are available at http://kos.gbif.org .

Vocabulary Management Tools
These are some of the vocabulary (of terms) management tools that will be evaluated by the VoMaG. Please contact the conveners of the task group or core members of the VoMaG if you are interested and willing to get a user account and help us to evaluate these tools.
- Vocabulary Wiki, http://kos.gbif.org/wiki/ (this site)
- ISOcat demo, http://kos.gbif.org/isocat/interface/
- GBIF Vocabulary Server, http://vocabularies.gbif.org (Darwin Core extensions and controlled vocabularies/code lists)
- GBIF KOS Tools, http://kos.gbif.org (for demo and evaluation)
- Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG), http://community.gbif.org/pg/groups/21382/
- GBIF Resources Registry, http://rs.gbif.org (for published vocabularies, terms, extensions and controlled vocabularies)
Vocabulary of Terms
These pages provides examples of how biodiversity vocabularies of terms can be created and maintained using a Semantic Wiki. These examples should be seen only as examples for the purpose of evaluating the Semantic Wiki and nothing more. Some basic information on how to mint a new term is provided here. Terms included in a Darwin Core extension should re-use terms defined in a Vocabulary of Terms (RDF, SKOS).
- DarwinCore - TDWG HTML RDF MediaWiki:Smw_import_dwc
- GBIF GNA - HTML RDF MediaWiki:Smw_import_gna
- Germplasm - HTML TERMS XSD MediaWiki:Smw_import_germplasm
- ABCD - TDWG HTML, XSD
- TCS - TDWG XSD (Taxon Concept Schema)
- SDD - TDWG HTML
- NCD - TDWG (Natural Collections Description)
- EML - HTML TERMS XSD (Ecological Markup Language)
- Other Vocabularies as examples. Some of these external vocabularies are imported.
Vocabulary of Controlled Values
These pages provides examples of how biodiversity vocabularies of concepts can be created and maintained using a Semantic Wiki. These examples should be seen only as examples for the purpose of evaluating the Semantic Wiki and nothing more. Some basic information on how to mint a new concept is provided here. Concepts included in a Darwin Core vocabulary of controlled values should re-use terms defined in a Vocabulary of Concepts (RDF, SKOS).
Getting started
- MediaWiki: User's Guide; FAQ
- Semantic MediaWiki: User Guide PDF (SMW version 1.4.3); Quick Reference Guide PNG PDF; SemanticWeb.org
- RDF Validation: RDF (W3C), RDF (Pedantic Web Group), SKOS (PoolParty), OWL (MyGrid); OWL (Manchester)
- Visualization: OWLDoc (Protege plugin); (NeOn plugin); Ontology-Browser (Java)
- Publish/provide RDF W3C Guidelines
Guidelines (for this KOS Wiki)
- SemanticWiki notes and comments.
- Guidelines on how to mint a new term.
