how and why did this end?

Related to #440.

The main reason for us not continuing with this code base is, the switch of PHP from 5 to 7 and the foundation of OntoWiki on Zend Framework 1. Migrating to PHP 7 would involve migrating to Zend Framework 2 for which we did not have enough capacity.

However, with a combination of

• https://github.com/AKSW/OntoPad
• https://github.com/AKSW/QuitStore
• https://github.com/AKSW/jekyll-rdf

and possibly more tools we try to build a more flexible tool stack that hopefully will eventually satisfy most of the OntoWiki use cases.

I'm curious what your use cases is for OntoWiki and why you are interested in it.
I have opened this repository to collect use cases, I would like to read yours: https://github.com/AKSW/OntoWiki.UseCases

Thanks! The followup projects you link are definitely intriguing to me (i am also building something comparable to jekyll-rdf). There was no particular clear-cut usecase for OntoWiki that i had in mind, just the vague thought that it was roughly the right direction ..

@koo5 Another reason was that parts of our research group spin-off eccenca as a company in order to create a product out of OntoWiki. We fastly failed with this, decided to re-implement parts of OntoWiki as DataManager which is now part of eccenca Corporate Memory :-)

Hi, I just discovered this project and I was also wondering what other (relatively simple) solutions are out there if this is not maintained anymore. Totally new to the topic...
