This document proposes modeling the genealogical domain with ontologies to address limitations of existing standards and systems. It discusses modeling entities, relationships, events and places. Challenges include instance identification, automatic population of ontologies from source statements while maintaining references, and knowledge inference with OWL and SWRL rules. The goal is a common conceptual model to facilitate sharing data between genealogical resources and services by making family ties recognizable without expert assistance.

The document summarizes the key events of the French Revolution and the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. It describes how the French Revolution began in 1789 due to widespread discontent with the unequal system of the three estates and growing debt. This led to the storming of the Bastille prison and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. However, internal conflicts and war with other European nations plunged France into a Reign of Terror. The revolution was later stabilized under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte, who crowned himself Emperor. However, his military defeats eventually led to his exile and the restoration of the French monarchy.
Uganda is a landlocked country in east-central Africa located north and northwest of Lake Victoria, with a total area of 91,136 square miles including 14,027 square miles of inland water. Joseph Kony formed the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda in the 1980s, which has since kidnapped an estimated 60,000 children to use as fighters or sex slaves, forcing them to commit violent acts. The LRA continues to commit atrocities including mutilation, rape, and murder of civilians.
