The Epistomat: Generating Consensus About RDF Ontologies and Rules
What happens when you take an ontology-driven interface generator, and feed
it the ontology for OWL itself? A simple recursive technique allows for
bootstrapping a world model and programmatically generating interfaces to
it. Such a model can then serve as the platform for the evolution of
collective consensus about ontologies and statements, by means of a curious
game of Nomic.
