Semantic web portal and platform
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of managing a set of interrelated knowledge objects, the method comprising:
- creating, by a server, a knowledge object of a particular object type responsive to receiving a request from a user;
wherein the particular object type is associated with a predetermined semantic structure suitable to represent the knowledge object;
presenting a form specific to the particular object type having a plurality of predetermined fields in conjunction with creating the knowledge object;
analyzing, by the server, the knowledge object to identify metadata associated with the knowledge object; and
creating a semantic link between the knowledge object with another knowledge object of the set of interrelated knowledge objects, based on the identified metadata;
tracking a set of rules including a rule to subscribe to knowledge objects in the set of interrelated knowledge objects;
wherein, the set of rules further includes permission to access the set of interrelated objects, wherein, the permission to access includes authoring or editing permissions of the set of interrelated knowledge objects;
wherein, the rule to subscribe specifies a source from which to subscribe to the knowledge objects;
wherein, the source is a web site or a user; and
wherein, the knowledge object is associated with a knowledge database;
wherein, the knowledge database is an ontology or taxonomy.

Abstract
The patent describes a single location and application on a network where a user can organize public, group, and private/personal information and have this single, location accessible to the public. A new, ontology-driven portal that organizes all three categories of data according to various “facets” using underlying ontologies to define each “facet” and wherein any type of information can be classified and linked to other types of information is disclosed. An application that enables a user to effectively utilize and manage knowledge and data the user posses and allows other users to effectively and seamlessly benefit from the user'"'"'s knowledge and data over a computer network is also disclosed. A method of processing content created by a user utilizing a semantic, ontology-driven portal on a computer network is described. The semantic portal application provides the user with a content base, such as a semantic form or meta-form, for creating a semantic posting. The semantic portal utilizes a knowledge data structure, such as a taxonomy or ontology, in preparing a semantic posting based on the information provided by the user via the content base. The semantic portal application prepares a preview of a semantic posting for evaluation by the user. The semantic posting is then either modified by the user or accepted and posted by the user for external parties to view.

6. A computer-implemented method of managing a set of knowledge objects, the method comprising:
-
presenting a form specific to the particular object type having a plurality of predetermined fields in conjunction with creating a knowledge object, wherein, content of at least one of the plurality of predetermined fields is user specifiable; wherein, the form is user-modifiable to add or remove a field to the plurality of predetermined fields; analyzing, by the server, the knowledge object to identify metadata associated with the knowledge object; and creating a semantic link between the knowledge object with another knowledge object of the set of knowledge objects, based on the identified metadata; tracking a set of rules including a rule to subscribe to knowledge objects in the set of interrelated knowledge objects; the set of rules further includes permission to access the set of interrelated objects, wherein, the permission to access includes authoring or editing permissions of the set of interrelated knowledge objects; wherein, the rule to subscribe specifies a source from which to subscribe to the knowledge objects;
wherein, the source is a web site or a user; andwherein, the knowledge object is associated with a knowledge database;
wherein, the knowledge database is an ontology or taxonomy. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
