Hello Ontopia people
This looks like a great product. However, I have so far not been able to get it working reliably on my Debian 7 system, although it seemed OK on an older Linux Mint system. No doubt there is a solution, but my question at the moment is:
Is Ontopia still under active development? This forum looks rather quiet.
Thanks and Regards

Dear Chris Gordon,
The development of Ontopia has slowed down a bit over the last years, but we still have active developers. Can I help you with your issues concerning running Ontopia on Debian 7, because ontopia.net (for example) also runs on Debian 7?
With regards,

Hello Quintin
Thanks. It is good to hear that Ontopia still has active developers. That gives me some confidence in going further with using the product.
Regarding my Debian 7 installation, I think the best way will be for me to do some further checks to ensure that I have everything setup according to the documentation. If I still have problems after that I'll get back to you with the details.
I very much like the overall modelling approach taken by Ontopia. I had looked at mindmap software, but was surprised to find that the models always have a tree structure. In my view a tree is not a good way to represent knowledge; a much more general network is needed. I also like the fact that Ontopia holds concepts in a central repository so that they can be re-used. This is much better than a 'diagram centric' approach that ties the definition/description of a concept to a particular diagram.
Best Regards
