THIS PROJECT IS IN ALPHA! YOU HAVE BE WARNED!
PyThings is an open-source and general purpose development framework design to model, interact with and manipulate any entity - abstract or tangible - through a structured model inspired by the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology. It's core focus is on providing a rich, extensible foundation for representing and working with Things in a flexible and scalable way.
More than a typical object-oriented framework; it's a generalised, structured way to model reality itself. Whether you're building AI-driven applications knowledge graphs, automation systems, or just looking to cut down your workload. PyThings provides a standardised yet flexible foundation.
These instructions will give you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on deploying the project on a live system.
Requirements for the software and other tools to build, test and push
PyThings is available as a Python package.
To install:
pip instal pythings
Additional domains and extensions can be found here, and follow the convention:
# Domain and definition expansions
pip install pythings-<domain_name>
# Plugins
pip install pythings-ext-<name>
Official domains are also downloadable within the codebase but this is generally not recommended.
Explain how to run the automated tests for this system
General extensions are those generally affecting the functionality of the package.
Give an example
DSFs are those that are specific to a particular domain or use case, and typically expand or form part of the lower ontology.
