Documentation

OntoWiki is a Semantic Data wiki which enables the collaborative creation and publication of RDF knowledge bases as Linked Data.

How to set up OntoWiki:

1. First go to your web directory:

   cd /var/www

2. Then clone our default repository: hg clone https://ontowiki.googlecode.com/hg/ myow
3. If you do not already have a Zend in your include-path you need to download it. For this, you can run:

   make zend

   in your myow base directory.
   If you can't use make, you can download Zend manually too:

   rm -rf libraries/Zend
   curl -O http://framework.zend.com/releases/ZendFramework-1.11.1/ZendFramework-1.11.1-minimal.tar.gz || wget  http://framework.zend.com/releases/ZendFramework-1.11.1/ZendFramework-1.11.1-minimal.tar.gz
   tar xzf ZendFramework-1.11.1-minimal.tar.gz
   mv ZendFramework-1.11.1-minimal/library/Zend libraries
   rm -rf ZendFramework-1.11.1-minimal.tar.gz ZendFramework-1.11.1-minimal

Your OntoWiki installation is now available under: http://localhost/myow/.

Configuration:

1. The most important configuration step is the database configuration. First you have to copy these files:

   cd /path/to/myow
   cp config.ini-dist config.ini

2. Then you need to change the database configuration in your config.ini: %% store.zenddb.dbname = ontowiki ; your configured DB name store.zenddb.username = ow ; the username to your database server store.zenddb.password = ow ; the pass for this user store.zenddb.dbtype = mysql ; at the moment only mysql tested ;store.zenddb.host = localhost ; default is localhost %%
3. After that, go to your OntoWiki URL in your browser (e.g. 'http://localhost/myow/').
4. There is a First Steps tutorial online.
