Here's a short summary:

"One's doctoral advisor is one's academic parent. This lets us define an
academic genealogy of researchers, to describe the academic ancestors
and descendents of a particular set of researchers."

See the AI Genealogy Project
(http://aigp.csres.utexas.edu/~aigp/?s=mission) for more details.

Another option would be to make use of the Semantic Web extension.  Here
are some examples:

http://wiki.ontoworld.org/wiki/Valentina_Tamma

I think it may be useful to do something like this for OWW.
