  • Java code generators
    • RDFReactor views the RDF data model through object-oriented Java proxies; Java interfaces are generated automatically from an RDF Schema
    • Kazuki generates a Java API for working with OWL instance data directly from a set of OWL ontologies. It is built on Jena 2 and mirrors their ontology interface.
    • Jastor is a open source Java code generator that emits Java Beans from Web Ontologies (OWL) enabling convenient, type safe access and eventing of RDF stored in a Jena Semantic Web Framework model.
  • LISP
    • Wilbur Nokia RDF toolkit written in Common LISP (another link)
    • SWCLOS: A Semantic Web Processor on Common Lisp Object System
  • Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is a labeling technology that allows you to embed data about a file, known as metadata, into the file itself.
  • Crow: Computational Representation Of Whatever is a java library for the manipulation and mining of complex and world-wide distributed data (by Raik Grünberg)
  • Semantic Web programming languages
    • Adenine is a python like language that knows how to deal with RDF. It is used to implement Haystack.
    • Fabl

Browsers

Editors

  • morla is a multiplatform editor of RDF documents
  • IsaViz: A Visual Authoring Tool for RDF
  • RDF Backend for Protégé - create, import, and save RDF(S) files in in Protégé
  • Fentwine: A navigational RDF browser and editor
  • Simplistic RDF Editor - needs SVG
  • RDF Editor in Java - simple
  • RDFAuthor is a tool designed to ease the pain of creating RDF instance data. Authoring is largely a matter of dragging in data and binding it together using a graphical interface.
  • Eclipse-based
    • RDFX is a suite of plug-ins for the Eclipse platform which together provide a framework for experimentation with RDF

Parsers

Visualization

  • Visualizing RDF - list of tools that allow viewing RDF document as a diagram
  • RDFRoom is an isometric RDF viewer. It gives the user ways to view and manipulate his RDF data that might make him see the data in a brand new perspective.
  • IsaViz is a visual environment for browsing and authoring RDF models represented as graphs.

Benchmarks

Lehigh University Benchmark (LUBM) is developed to facilitate the evaluation of Semantic Web repositories in a standard and systematic way

RDF Schema

Ontology editors

Ontology Managers

  • KAON is an open-source ontology management infrastructure targeted for business applications. It includes a comprehensive tool suite allowing easy ontology creation and management and provides a framework for building ontology-based applications. An important focus of KAON is scalable and efficient reasoning with ontologies.
  • KAON2 is an infrastructure for managing OWL-DL and SWRL ontologies.
  • Chimaera is a software system that supports users in creating and maintaining distributed ontologies on the web
  • LexGrid - an infrastructure for interlocking biomedical concepts across vocabularies and ontologies
  • IBM Web Ontology Manager

Query

Rule engines

  • A reasoner is a service that takes the statements encoded (asserted) in an ontology as input and derives (infers) new statements from them. In particular, OWL reasoners can be used to:
    • Reveal subclass/superclass relationships among classes
    • Determine the most specific types of individuals
    • Detect inconsistent class definitions
  • DIG interface provides uniform access to Description Logic (DL) Reasoners (DIG interface on SourceForge)
    • a number of reasoners including FaCT++, RACER, and Pellet provide support for DIG
    • a number of ontology editors (including OilEd, Protege and SWOOP) can use the DIG interface to communicate with such reasoners
    • Jena framework also makes use of DIG for reasoning over OWL ontologies
  • CWM - Closed World Machine
  • Pychinko: Rete-based RDF friendly rule engine
  • Pellet is an open-source Java based OWL DL reasoner. It can be used in conjunction with both Jena and OWL API libraries and also provides a DIG interface.
  • FaCT++ is the new generation of the well-known FaCT OWL-DL reasoner
  • Commercial
    • RacerPro is an OWL reasoner and inference server

Web Services

  • The Universal Information Service Browser (UISB) Project The aim of the UISB Project is to investigate and improve interaction with Information Services used in a range of distributed environments, in the first instance these will include Web Services, UDDI and the Jini Lookup Service.
