Open Source BSD Semantic Web Software

This project is no longer actively maintained.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.

TurtleScript is a semantic web project to demonstrate the utility of including the Turtle RDF serialization in HTML files as a form of metadata. It is intended as proposed alternative or supplement to microformats and RDFa.

AnnoCultor: porting cultural repositories to the Semantic Web.

The London Datastore (http://data.london.gov.uk) was created by the Greater London Authority (GLA) as an innovation towards freeing London’s data. This SourceForge Project will be used to Open Source our development efforts surrounding data formats

dotNetRDF is a .Net Class Library for working with RDF and SPARQL programatically built with C# 3 for the .Net Framework 3.5/4.0/Silverlight 4 and WIndows Phone 7. It provides a simple object model for representing RDF, SPARQL Queries and Updates and understands all common RDF and SPARQL syntaxes. Extensive documentation is available on the website and support is available via the mailing lists.

MACOW is a formal and scalable mandatory access implementation suitable on open worlds such as the provided on Semantic Web, Autonomic Computing and Coaltions and Federations scenarios. It is able to access control on distributed systems.

NG4J - 'Named Graphs API for Jena' is an extension to the Jena Semantic Web framework for parsing, manipulating and serializing sets of Named Graphs. For details about Named Graphs see http://www.w3.org/2004/03/trix/

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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).

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

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

An extension of Sesame (http://www.openrdf.org) implementing Labeled RDF/S semantics. Statements can have a label, stored using Sesame "context". Labels can be partially ordered; a reasoner allowing to reason with labels is thus provided.

MRCube is a graphical editing tool of RDF-based contents developed for managing a relationship between RDF and RDFS contents.

MapPSO is a tool for Ontology Alignment, which uses Discrete Particle Swarm Optimisation. A particle swarm is used to search for the optimal alignment. The algorithm is massively parallel and adapts naturally on parallel architectures.

That project aims at providing a clean service API, and the corresponding C++ implementation, for freely available geographical-based services on the Internet (e.g., GeoIP service by the GPL-based software77 database, Yahoo! GeoPlanet, etc.).

PHPTMAPI is a programming interface for PHP based on the TMAPI project (www.tmapi.org). This API enables PHP developers an easy and standardized implementation of ISO/IEC 13250 Topic Maps in their applications.
