Abstract:
Creating, documenting, publishing and maintaining an RDF
Schema vocabulary is a complex, timeconsuming task. This makes vocabulary maintainers reluctant to evolve their creations quickly in response to user feedback; it prevents use of RDF for casual, ad-hoc data
publication about niche topics; it leads to poorly documented vocabularies, and contributes to poor compliance of vocabularies with bestpractice recommendations. Neologism is a web-based vocabulary editor
and publishing system that dramatically reduces the time required to
create, publish and modify vocabularies. By removing a lot of pain from
this process, Neologism will contribute to a generally more interesting,
relevant and standards-compliant Semantic Web.
