Class IWBase

java.lang.Object
  iw.model.IWBase

public class IWBase

extends java.lang.Object

The IWBase (formerly known as the IW Registry) is a hyperweb of distributed repositories of meta-information relevant to proofs and explanations, including knowledge provenance information. Every entry in these repositories is an instance of an IWBase concept. For example, Ontology is an IWBase concept that is the superclass of entries representing: ontologies, knowledge bases, thesauri, etc. An ontology entry describes stores of assertions about the ontology such as its original creator(s), date of creation, data of last update, version, URL (for browsing), description in English, etc. IWBase's provenance information is expanding on an as-needed basis driven by application demands. Every entry has a URI and is stored both as a file written in OWL and as a set of tuples in a database. IWBase files are mainly used by PML proofs to annotate their content as described throughout this article.
