Software

owland: OWLAND is an automated testing framework for description logic reasoners. It supports both ABox and TBox reasoning methods and is capable of running fully automated tests with any ontology and number of currently available reasoners.

seth API: SETH is a software effort to deeply integrate Python with Web Ontology Language (OWL-table dialect). The idea is to import ontologies directly into the programming context so that its classes are usable alongside standard Python classes. This provides a more natural mapping of OWL-DL than classic APIs, reflecting the OWL-DL semantics, while preserving the access to the classic Python objects. It can be seen as an object interface for OWL-DL. The approach represents a unification, that allows both languages to be conveniently used for different subproblems in the software-engineering environment.

jax-sa: JAX-SA (Java Axis Semantic Annotation) generates the semantic descriptions of the web and grid services (WSDL and WSRF). It provides an interface on top of the OWL-S API, which can batch process large number of service descriptions and convert them to OWL-S. Such functionality is crucial in order to support pilot applications and effective development cycle, where the descriptions of the services can change regularly.

jFPSCI, FPS: participated in the development of Farms Processing Software (FPS) for the offline production farm at Fermilab. Developed a control software (jFPSCI) enabling a Web-based monitoring and control of the production farm software. Also developed Web-pages with online statistics.

Service Composer: developed an automated service composition tool based on the semantic description of services

OntoStore: developed a simulation environment of a peer-to-peer repository for storing and retrieving RDF/OWL/XML metadata.
