[Savannah-hackers] [Savannah] gnowsys want to be a GNU package

[savannah-hackers]

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ? 

Submitter: <address@hidden>
Project Full Name:  Gnowledge Networking and Organizing System
Project System Name:  gnowsys
License:  gpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=2486
Description: GNOSYS: Gnowledge Networking and Organizing System, is a web 
application  suitable for installation within the web application server Zee 
Object Publishing Environment (ZOPE).

The application provides generic classes, viz. object, object type, 
association, association type, facet, facet type, occurance, occurance type, 
theme, scope, etc., for developing semantic web content.  For those who are 
aware, the application follows the structure of TopicMaps 
(http://www.tipicmaps.org).  It is intended to develop as a powerful prototype 
application demonstrating the potential of an expert system within the 
paradigm+of object oriented database technology.  Presently it cannot 
import/export the content in the form of XTM (XML Topic Maps) standard, but 
this feature is being developed.

The application can be used for web based knowledge (document) management 
projects, for developing structured knowledge bases, as a collaborative 
authoring tool, suitable for making electronic glossaries, dictionaries and 
encyclopedias, for managing large websites or links, developing an online 
catalogue for a library of any thing including books, to make ontologies, 
classifying and networking any objects etc.

The application contains a catalogue (an instance of ZCatalogue, a constituent 
of ZOPE, http://www.zope.org) for indexing all the data for faster search and 
query.

It also contains a facility to add rules into its rule base, and execute the 
rules.  Once completely implemented this feature will make the product really 
powerful, for it can infer and make new relations.  Though a prototype of rule 
base already exists in the developing version, more elegant implementation is 
being worked out.

GNOSYS is a free software, released under GPL.

Sample applications that are developed using GNOSYS will be available at 
http://www.gnowledge.org/.  

A snapshot of the application is available at
