SemWebCentral Project News http://projects.semwebcentral.org SemWebCentral Project News Highlights SemWebCentral Upgrading http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=543 SemWebCentral is getting all new hardware along with an updated operating system and updated GForge services. We hope to complete the upgrade over the next few weeks. We will notify users of any necessary downtime. Project for maintaining the code used to run this site. SemWebCentral Troy Self Mon, 25 Feb 2008 9:13:57 GMT Cypher:First release http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=527 The first public release of the Cypher code is now available from the CVS. Enjoy! Cypher is a program which generates the RDF and SeRQL representation of a natural language input. Cypher's grammar can be extended to process complex sentences and phrases of any natural language, or vocabulary. Cypher Sherman Monroe Thu, 27 Sep 2007 5:28:18 GMT WSMO-MX Matchmaker:WSMO-MX released http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=523 The hybrid matchmaker WSMO-MX for WSMO oriented semantic Web services has been released. For running WSMO-MX, it is necessary to run ontobroker (with respective license). WSMO-MX, applies different matching filters to retrieve WSMO-oriented service descriptions that are semantically relevant to a given query with respect to seven degrees of hybrid matching. Additional OntoBroker license required. WSMO-MX Matchmaker Matthias Klusch Tue, 28 Aug 2007 6:29:36 GMT Snoggle 1.1 Released http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=522 Snoggle is a graphical, SWRL-based ontology mapper that allows users to draw SWRL-based rules on a canvas instead of writing them by hand. Today, Snoggle released version 1.1 of its Java-based software, adding atom dependency checking and the ability to control the ordering of output atoms, among other things. Try out Snoggle at: http://snoggle.projects.semwebcentral.org Snoggle is a graphical ontology mapper that exports to SWRL. Snoggle Edward Benson Fri, 27 Jul 2007 4:06:28 GMT RDF Goggles fixed http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=494 RDF Goggles (http://rdfgoggles.semwebcentral.org) had a bug where it would try to attach a jsesssionid to a URL and then promptly fail to find that URL. That should be fixed now. If anyone notices this behavior, please let me know via the Site Feedback link at the bottom of SemWebCentral. For the curious, it was my use of the <c:url> tag for generating the action URL. RDF Goggles is a Java web servlet and supporting API for querying URLs as an RDF client. The purpose of this project is to provide a web-based way to test and view the RDF publishing capabilities of various web sites. RDF Goggles Troy Self Fri, 20 Apr 2007 7:33:32 GMT More colors for SemWebCentral http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=490 Most people like the green, but there may be some that don't. We created some alternatives. You can try them out by going to 'My Account' in the upper right and changing your Theme to one of the other colors. So far we offer green, red, orange, and fuchsia (it was a special request). Also, SemWebCentral will default to the orange theme on April 20, 2007 in recognition of Hokie Hope Day. It will switch back to green the next day. Project for maintaining the code used to run this site. SemWebCentral Troy Self Fri, 20 Apr 2007 12:15:19 GMT SemWebCentral:New RDF Goggles service http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=489 RDF Goggles is a service that allows you to retrieve web sites as a Semantic Web client so you can see what the client would see in your browser. Some sites only return RDF to clients that ask for it. Web browsers always ask for HTML. RDF Goggles allows you to request RDF from your browser. It is a good way to test your own RDF publishing sites or try other sites just to see if they offer any RDF. Try it out at http://rdfgoggles.semwebcentral.org. SemWebCentral publishes its information in RDF, so try viewing www.semwebcentral.org with RDF Goggles. Project for maintaining the code used to run this site. SemWebCentral Troy Self Wed, 18 Apr 2007 5:56:40 GMT All new front-end for SemWebCentral http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=466 We have developed a new interface for SemWebCentral. The new interface uses a custom integration of GForge and Wordpress to provide all of the open source software development capabilities you expect from GForge, while allowing the dynamic content management capabilities of Wordpress. News about projects hosted on SemWebCentral is now separate from general Semantic Web news. RSS 1.0 feeds are available for both. The front page maintains a list of upcoming conferences related to the Semantic Web. An RSS feed for the conferences is under development and will arrive soon. Comments welcome. -- SemWebCentral team Project for maintaining the code used to run this site. SemWebCentral Troy Self Mon, 02 Apr 2007 7:06:33 GMT RS2D: Semantic P2P Service Discovery:RS2D 2.0 release now available! http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=462 The RS2D simulator for probabilistic risk driven semantic Web service retrieval in unstructured P2P networks has been released (in two parts due to upload size limit). User manual included. RS2D allows for mixed probabilistic risk driven semantic service discovery in unstructured P2P networks. Network editing; retrieval performance analysis. RS2D: Semantic P2P Service Discovery Matthias Klusch Tue, 27 Feb 2007 5:34:07 GMT OWLS-XPlan Service Composition Planner:Release of OWLS-XPlan 2.0 expected for next week! http://projects.semwebcentral.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=461 The new release includes OWL-DL complete converter OWLS2PDDL, and revised service composition planner XPlan 2 for event driven dynamic planning, and PDDL2OWLS conversion of plan sequence to composed OWL-S service. GUI plus initial and goal state ontologies from the e-health domain as example. OWLS-XPlan converts given initial and goal state ontologies in OWL and services in OWL-S 1.1 to equivalent domain and problem description in PDDL 2.1, and returns a composition plan sequence that reaches the given goal state.
