Open Source 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This project is no longer actively maintained.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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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/

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.

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

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.

SPARQL to Object Oriented eNgine allows users to expose their traditional data sources (RDBMS, OODBMS, XML, LDAP, ecc) as RDF data, through a SPARQL endpoint.

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.

The tRDF framework provides tools to deal with the trustworthiness of RDF data.
