This guide is intended to provide support for first time OntoWiki users.
It assumes that you have a working installation.
For a longer and more visual introduction, watch our webinar.
First Login
If you start with a new ontowiki installation, you have only one pre-configured account, the SuperAdmin
. This has the same username and password as the one you set up in config.ini for accessing the database backend.
The Admin
user exist, but has no password
, and hence you cannot use this to log in. To enable the account, set a plain-text password for it when logged in with the SuperAdmin
account. Actually you can just log into Admin with an empty PW for now and set it through the normal usermenu as well
- Select the
OntoWiki System Configuration
in theKnowledge Bases
menu - Select
User
in theNavigation: Classes
menu - Select the
Admin
user from the list of resources - Use the
Add Property
button and selectpassword
from the list - Enter a plain-text temporary password for the user
Then log out SuperAdmin
and log in with the Admin
account. Change the password and e-mail. Then the password should now be encrypted.
- Login with
Admin
and empty password - Click on
User > Preferences
in the Main Box (upper left side) - Change the password and email
Other users
- Everyone should have their own user
- Access rights for users and groups are managed with the
SuperAdmin
account
First Model
After that, you should create a new knowledge base. A good example is the AKSW webpage knowledge base which consists of persons, projects and other related material from the AKSW research group.
- Login with
Admin
user (if not already done), or another user withadmin
rights - Click on the menu entry
Edit > Create Knowledge Base
in the Knowledge Bases box - Download the dataset
- Select “Upload from file”
- Fill in the Model URI
http://aksw.org/
and select the downloaded file - Submit
After importing the knowledge base, you can browse persons, projects and other classes.
By default, every new user (and the anonymous user) can read every model but the two system models.
So if you logout now, you have anonymous access to your new model.
If you don’t like that, you need to change that in your configuration model, using the SuperAdmin
account.
Preconfigured Knowledge Bases
A new OntoWiki has two installed Knowledge Bases:
http://ns.ontowiki.net/SysOnt/
is the global system ontology which describe OntoWiki configuration concepts.http://localhost/OntoWiki/Config/
is your local configuration model. It imports the global system ontology. Registered Users and ((AccessControl access control configuration)) will be saved here.
common work flows (todo)
Here should be an overview which work flows are exists. For everyone a picture and a lightweight description. Maybe let base workflows on concepts from Introduction
- create an empty model + a class + instances
- view instance lists and single instances: explain what you will see
- modify an instance using rdfauthor
- browse the data using our cool modules and show as list buttons
- how to use the query editor
- how to use the community features
- how to use the versioning
- enable and configure extensions: for example datagathering and linked data server (?)
