Hello Juliet,
You need a working JDK installation.
In the kim\bin\config_machine.bat point to your JDK installation like this:
set _JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14
You better use full path names than variables.
Make sure you have Java available in your path:
This is done in Windows: System Properties->Advanced->Environment
variables(at the bottom right)->System Variables-> Select "Path" from
the list
and append something like that ";C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin".
Folders are separated by ";".
where "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin" is the directory that
points to "java.exe"

Hello Anton
Back to you again. I have tried to install KIM but have hit a snag on the Java.
I changed the path as required but I get an error saying the the path doesn't
point to a Java Installation. I ma not sure what I should have done.
For the JDK file I created a folder called JDK in C and so in the Home path I
give it as %c:JDK% but that has failed to work
How do I proceed now.
I appreciate your help
Regards
Juliet

Hello Juliet,
1. KIM supports standard OWL, so you should not have any problems.
Please use the latest version of Protege.
Some of our team members use simply notepad/emacs and then they validate their
Ontology with:
http://www.mygrid.org.uk/OWL/Validator
2. Well, I can not think of a project using KIM in the spatial domain, but I do
not see any obstacles in doing so. I would suggest that you go ahead with you
project using KIM.
3. I myself am building a KIM/GATE tutorial:

There are more posts to come. Please tell us if you find it useful.

Dear Anton
Sorry that I have to bug you with a lot of question, I have subscribed to the mailing list but ihave received confirmation yet to that effect.
It will be first time to use an Annotation Platform and actually the topic
itself is new to me (Enhancing Spatial Web Search with Semantic Web Technology
and Metadata Visualisation)
1.What I have done is to be build an ontology using Protégé (OWL-Plugin). Will
I be able to import this into the KIM platform so that I don't have to repeat
what I have already done.
2. Secondly I need to have Semantic Annotations in the spatial domain of the concepts I have in the ontology. I will implement them in GeoNetwork opensource which is a standard based and decentralised spatial information management system, designed to enable access to geo-referenced databases and cartographic products from a variety of data providers through descriptive metadata, enhancing the spatial information exchange and sharing between organisations and their audience, using the capacities and the power of the Internet. The idea is to allow users to retain the most relevant information with a shift from key-word based search but also to take advantage of underlying concepts.
Now with regards to KIM it has not tey been implemented in the Spatial domain will this help me achieve my goal.
3. Does KIM come with a step by step tutorial which I can follow so I get
acquainted to the tool before I use it for my own work with ease? I have looked
at the documentation and so it has not been easy for me to follow.
Looking forward to hearing from you again
Regards
Juliet

Dear Juliet,
You could download the latest version of the KIM Platform at:
http://ontotext.com/kim/kim-install.html
You will find KIM documentation and installation details at:
http://ontotext.com/kim/doc/sys-doc/Installation.html
As you might have seen from the license - KIM is free for evaluation and
research purposes. Our intention is to provide it for free for development
purposes as well, although this is not explicitly stated in the current
license. Commercial license is also available and comes with support from
Ontotext.
We do provide different services on top of KIM, since with this level of
complexity you never get an off-the-shelf product.
It would be great if you can share a bit more information about the
applications of KIM that you have in mind, so that we can recommend
architecture, configuration, etc.
We recommend you to subscribe for KIM-discussion and interested-in-KIM mailing
lists at: http://www.ontotext.com/kim/mailing-lists-info.html.
The KIM-discussion mailing list is more of a technical type and it is available as public archive at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html
If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us at:
[email protected].
We will greatly appreciate your feedback.
