A wontology is a wiki-ontology: a publicly editable store of information in lists, trees, hierarchies, and relationships. To get started:
- read Information as Relationships,
- do our first tutorial, or
- go to our sample wontology, Programming Language categories.
You are welcome to experiment with this system and its data, to add new information, and to expand or edit what is already present.
For more information, see Wontology Concepts, Naming Conventions, and About wontology.org. This wontology can contain information for many different subject areas, but is currently mostly about the relationships between different types and families of programming languages. You can simply browse from the links below, or start from Browsing a Wontology There are also several other tutorials and a glossary of wontology terms.
Please contact us on our forum or email list with questions or comments.
