This puzzled me too when I first started, because I was expecting to 
have to actually *do* something. Actually, there's nothing to do. You 
just start creating relationships and attributes and they pop into being 
as soon as you use them.

If you have a page "Joe Bloggs" that currently says:

   Joe works in the [[Usability Testing Department]].
   His extension is 4684.

You just go ahead and annotate those:
   Joe works in the [[department::Usability Testing Department]].
   His extension is [[phone extension:=4684]].

The body of the page will be unchanged, but that information will now 
appear in the fact box at the bottom of the page, and in the RDF output, 
and will be queryable. In the fact box the relationship and attribute 
names themselves will appear as red links signifying that you haven't 
actually created the pages for them yet. You'll need to create the 
Attribute one to say what type of data it stores, but you can do all 
that sort of thing after using them, wiki-style, rather than needing to 
import or create Ontologies beforehand.

It's all really very simple. Way more simple than most people expect!

Have fun,

Tony
