About zWiki

This technical wiki (zWiki) is the central repository for all documentation related to OSF projects. At present these projects include:


 * The Open Semantic Framework, the umbrella project for all others listed
 * structWSF (structured data Web services frameworks)
 * OSF-Drupal (Drupal modules)
 * Semantic Components (Flex-based visualization widgets)
 * irON (instance record Object Notation)
 * Ontologies and related tools
 * RDFizers (converters of native data formats to RDF).

zWiki is the location for users and interested parties to learn about these projects and their applications, and for developers to author and write about their use and best practices.

zWiki is intended to be the complete go-to resource for all technical aspects regarding OSF code. Specific attention is given to:


 * Systems configurations and architectures to support these open source codes
 * Installation assistance
 * Guidance for how to set-up and maintain these instances
 * Best practices for how to initialize and operate them
 * Technical background information to place these codes in context
 * Links to external resources and documentation.
