Platypus Wiki

Platypus Wiki is an enhanced Wiki Wiki Web with ideas taken from Semantic Web. We call it a Semantic Wiki Wiki Web. It offers a simple user interface to create a Wiki Page plus metadata according with W3C standards. It uses RDF (Resource Description Framework), RDF Schema, and OWL (Web Ontology Language) to create ontologies and manage metadata. Platypus Wiki is an ongoing project started on 23th December 2003. We distribute a pre-alpha version to test the concept and have a feedback from some earlier users. If you want to try it, read the download section to find how you can get it and the installation section to install and run it. The pre-alpha version is again in early stage of development and implements only few features, but you can already try it and see how it works.
