 ===== Read about the concepts behind KnowRob =====
-To understand the design decisions and capabilities of the system, read about the [[important concepts]] and have a look at the related publications. The [[http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:91-diss-20111125-1079930-1-7|PhD thesis by Moritz Tenorth]] is currently the most comprehensive description of the concepts that underlie the KnowRob system. There is also a [[http://ijr.sagepub.com/content/32/5/566.abstract|recent article]] in the IJRR journal about KnowRob.

 ==== OWL tutorials ====
-Download the [[http://protege.stanford.edu/download/protege/4.1/installanywhere/|Protege OWL editor]] (version 4.x) which makes exploring and editing OWL files much easier and have a look at the [[http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/index.php/Protege4GettingStarted|documentation]]. The [[http://130.88.198.11/tutorials/protegeowltutorial/resources/ProtegeOWLTutorialP4_v1_3.pdf|tutorial]] is not only a good introduction to the Protege program, but to modeling with OWL in general. It will take you a day or two, but is worth the time. Also look at the XML/OWL code you just created in Protege with a text editor to see how the relations you created using the GUI are represented in OWL. It is important now only to understand how things look in the editor, but also how they are encoded in the lower-level data structures.

 ==== Prolog tutorials ====
-Though you probably won't need very sophisticated Prolog skills in the beginning, you should have a rough understanding of how a Prolog program looks like and what the basic concepts are to implement your own queries and (later) modules. The tutorials at http://www.learnprolognow.org/ are a very good introduction -- try to follow them at least until Lesson 6.
+While you don't need sophisticated Prolog skills in the beginning for asking simple queries, you should have a rough understanding of how a Prolog program looks like and what the basic concepts are. Once you start to implement your own queries and (later) your own modules, knowledge of Prolog becomes more and more important. The tutorials at http://www.learnprolognow.org/ are a very good introduction -- try to follow them at least until Lesson 6. The [[http://swi-prolog.org/pldoc/doc_for?object=manual|SWI Prolog Reference Manual]] provides a comprehensive overview of the available predicates.
