Open Source BSD Semantic Web Software

Semantic MediaWiki is an extension to the MediaWiki software (powering Wikipedia), which extends the Wiki with ideas from the Semantic Web. We focus on usability and tight integration. See the web site for further details and GitHub at https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/releases for the file releases! (since version 2.4.0).

This project is no longer actively maintained. It is succeeded by the Eclipse RDF4J project, which can be found at GitHub and at http://www.rdf4j.org/. Sesame is a de-facto standard framework for processing RDF data. This includes parsing, scalable storage, reasoning and full SPARQL 1.1 query/update support. Sesame offers a fully modular toolkit and an easy-to-use Java API that can be connected to all leading RDF storage solutions.

A library to allow query a SPARQL end-point in Python

Network software for annotation and quality control of distributed data. Supported by NSF: DBI 0646266 and NSF: DBI 0960535. http://wiki.filteredpush.org

This Java tool converts your RDF files from any RDF format to any other format. It is based on the openRDF.org Sesame project and is wrapped into one single jar file for easy usage.

SmartSlog (Smart Space Ontology) is a software/application development kit (SDK or ADK) for programming Smart-M3 agents (Knowledge Processors, KPs) that consume/produce smart space content according with its high-level ontological representation. SmartSlog applies the code generation approach: given an OWL ontology description, the ontology programming library is produced. The latter provides API to access the smart space via a Smart-M3 Semantic Information Broker (SIB) and data structures and functions to represent and maintain locally in KP code all ontology classes, relations, properties, and individuals. Since 2012 the project is supported by grant KA179 of Karelia ENPI programme, http://kareliaenpi.eu/ More information about project: http://oss.fruct.org/wiki/SmartSlog Smart-M3 on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart-M3

This project is a reasoner for the description logic EL+. It computes the concept subsumption hierarchy. It is an OWL 2 EL reasoner.

HERAKLES is a reasoning broker framework for OWL (Web Ontology Language) reasoning systems.

KADMOS provides a lightweight API for alignment of OWL 2 ontologies. It is based on the OWL API v3.

The “RDB2RDF Mapper” is a Java based software desktop application which allows a user to create a mapping file between a relational database and an RDFS/OWL ontology via a graphical user interface. This project is ANDS-funded.

RDFConvert is a simple command-line tool for converting RDF file betweeen different syntax formats. It is based on the OpenRDF Rio parser toolkit, and currently supports RDF/XML, Trig, Trix, Turtle, N3, N-Triples, RDF/JSON, JSON-LD, Sesame Binary RDF and N-Quads.

ROO is an (OWL) ontology construction tool based on Protégé 4. ROO makes the ontology building process easier as it provides guidance about the steps involved and it allows to enter knowledge using an easy to learn controlled natural language.

A simple tool for sketching out ontology structures, including OWL export. Developed at the University of Manchester as a third-year project.

Smart-M3 is a functional platform that provides a cross domain search extent for triple based information. Smart-M3 enables smart cross domain applications that rely on information level interoperability.

The Common Lisp Reasoner extends the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) to incorporate a powerful rule language suitable for all kinds of reasoning tasks, vanilla XML and RDF/XML interfaces, and support for a variety of AI-related applications, such as scheduling, planning and diagnosis.

DODDLE-OWL is a domain ontology development tool for the Semantic Web. DODDLE-OWL makes reuse of existing ontologies and supports the semi-automatic construction of taxonomic and other relationships in domain ontologies from documents.

A Java library which reads an OWL resource, e.g. an OWL file, and offers methods to get the contained information. For that is has methods to get all OWL classes together with their subclasses and their data types (i.e. their data properties), all relations of these OWL classes (i.e. all object properties), all OWL individuals together with their classes and their data values (i.e. their positive data property assertions) and all relations of these OWL individuals (i.e. all their positive object property assertions).

OntoComP is a Protégé 4 plug-in for completing OWL ontologies. It enables the user to check whether an OWL ontology contains "all relevant information" about the application domain, and extends the ontology appropriately if this is not the case. It achieves this by asking the user questions of the form "are instances of classes C1 and C2 also instances of class C3?". If the user confirms such a question, then a new axiom of the application domain that does not follow from the ontology has been discovered, and it is added to the ontology. If the user rejects it, the user has to give a counterexample to this question, i.e., an individual that is an instance of C1, C2 and not C3. When all such questions (about some initially given classes) have been answered, the ontology is complete with respect to the application domain.

AnnoCultor: porting cultural repositories to the Semantic Web.

Arastreju is a Java based engine for ontology based information management.

DB2RDF is a a software tool that will convert data from relational data model to semantic data model (in the form of RDF and RDFS). A SPARQL endpoint for querying the converted data. For querying the semantic data, SPARQL query language is used.

A set of tools (command line and GUI) to provide a complete digital photo workflow for Unixes. EXIF headers are used as the central information repository, so users may change their software at any time without loosing any data.

Microsoft .NET connector for the Fedora Commons repository system. Developed by Jeroen Suijkerbuijk, commissioned and sponsored by Maastricht University Library.

Glue 2 is a Semantic Web Service discovery engine fully compatible with the WSMO meta-model and the WSML language that aims at solving polarization problems by using mediators.

A project designed to create a standard mapping of RDF to Java.
