Default Formal ontology for

Thanks very much. I'm interested in helping out with the ontology. There is a huge treasure trove of expertise here in the forum and especially in the archives. The quality of semantic classification of edged weapons on Wikipedia is spotty, but there are some good resources on specialized topics. I've discovered that using Wikipedia in other languages is especially useful for weapons that exist within the cultural environment of that language, e.g., Javanese. Google translate is fairly helpful in this regard.

I'm investigating tools such as Protege to help build the OWL ontology.

I have a prototype Omeka S site, but I'm not ready to share it publicly yet. I'll try sending you a private message.

Omeka S seems like a much better platform to go forward with than Omeka Classic, but it requires a level of familiarity with the Dublin Core that few "muggles" have. I've yet to find an eager grad student to help, but I'm looking.

I hope to get back to developing the new website soon and will keep your requirements in mind.

Best regards,
Dana
