Collaborative Linked Open Data Editor

Abstract

Ontology is widely used as framework to model the domain knowledge. Knowledge modeling for a specific domain is done by multiple agents. At a time only one agent works on the model and passes it to the next agent when his part is done. It makes a long time to develop a complete ontology. A lot of tools have been already developed to design and maintain centralized ontology for various domains. All these tools provide schema management but lack in linked data management and real time collaborative knowledge modeling. So there is need of a tool that provides an environment where a group of knowledge experts can do collaborative knowledge modeling in real time. The proposed system consumes the following objectives: A group of people can work, collaborate and manage ontology in real time. The use of web socket enables the change to reflect on each user’s screen instantly. Moreover, everyone is aware of up-to date model. Collaborative work reduces time cost. Web socket helps to resolve the inconsistency and conflicts among different agents instantly. In a nut shell, this tool provides real time collaborative knowledge sharing and modeling along with the basic functionalities that previously developed tools provide e.g. Ontology creating and editing.
