SW tools and technologies are usually described using different keywords: ontology design/management/maintenance tools, data integration and management platforms, RDF triple storage systems, web services, SOA middleware platforms, semantic annotation tools, content indexing and categorization tools, search engines based on NLP, linguistic analysis and text mining, collaboration and other social networking technologies, knowledge visualization/presentation technologies, ontology mediated portals, ontological querying/inference engines, rule-based engines, ontology reasoners, etc.

In this Repository Semantic Web Tools are classified into the following categories:

  • Semantic Modeling and Development Tool
  • Semantic Data Management and Integration Server
  • Triple Store
  • Semantic Annotation Platform / Tool
  • Semantic Search and Retrieval Engine
  • Semantic Collaboration Tool
  • Ontology Reasoning Engine
  • Rule Engine
  • RDF Browser


Tool ToolType Description
AllegroGraphTriple Store

AllegroGraph is a RDF triple store with support for SPARQL, RDFS++, and Prolog reasoning from Java applications.

Altova SemanticWorksSemantic Modeling and Development ToolSemanticWorks is the ground-breaking visual RDF and OWL editor for the Semantic Web. It supports graphical design of RDF instance documents, RDFS vocabularies, and OWL ontologies, and output in either RDF/XML or N-Triples formats. It supports semantics checking for ontologies (OWL Lite, OWL Full & OWL DL dialects).
Apache UIMASemantic Annotation Platform / ToolUnstructured Information Management applications are software systems that analyze large volumes of unstructured information in order to discover knowledge that is relevant to an end user. An example UIM application might ingest plain text and identify entities, such as persons, places, organizations; or relations, such as works-for or located-at.

UIMA enables applications to be decomposed into components, for example "language identification" => "language specific segmentation" => "sentence boundary detection" => "entity detection (person/place names etc.)". Each component implements interfaces defined by the framework and provides self-describing metadata via XML descriptor files. The framework manages these components and the data flow between them. Components are written in Java or C++; the data that flows between components is designed for efficient mapping between these languages.

UIMA additionally provides capabilities to wrap components as network services, and can scale to very large volumes by replicating processing pipelines over a cluster of networked nodes.

Apache UIMA is an Apache-licensed open source implementation of the UIMA specification [pdf] [doc] (that specification is, in turn, being developed concurrently by a technical committee within OASIS , a standards organization). We invite and encourage you to participate in both the implementation and specification efforts.

Autonomy IDOL ServerSemantic Annotation Platform / ToolAt the heart of Autonomy's infrastructure software lies the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) Server. The IDOL Server collects indexed data from connectors and stores it in its proprietary structure, optimized for fast processing and retrieval of data. As the information processing layer, IDOL forms a conceptual and contextual understanding of all content in an enterprise, automatically analyzing any piece of information from over 1,000 different content formats and even people's interests. Over 500 operations can be performed on digital content by IDOL, including hyperlinking, agents, summarization, taxonomy generation, clustering, eduction, profiling, alerting and retrieval.
IBM IODTSemantic Modeling and Development Tool
Semantic Data Management and Integration Server
Ontology Reasoning Engine
IODT is a toolkit for ontology-driven development. This toolkit includes EMF Ontolgy Definition Metamodel (EODM) and an OWL ontology repository named Scalable Ontology Repository (SOR).

IODT includes the following components, which can be downloaded and used independently or cooperatively:

  • EODM is the run-time library that allows the application to read and serialize an RDFS/OWL ontology in RDF/XML format; manipulate an ontology using Java™ objects; call an inference engine and access inference results; and transform between ontology and other models.
  • The OWL ontology repository, named Scalable Ontology Repository (SOR), is a high-performance OWL storage, inference, and query system based on RDBMS. It supports DLP (Description Logic Program), a subset of OWL DL, and the SPARQL language.
