Science and the Semantic Web

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/299/5606/520.summary

James Hendler*[HN19]

As modern science grows in complexity and scope, the need for more collaboration between scientists at different institutions, in different areas, and across scientific disciplines becomes increasingly important. An emerging generation of World Wide Web technology, known as the Semantic Web, offers tremendous potential for collaborative and interdisciplinary science. However, to realize this potential, scientists and information technologists must forge new models of cooperation, and new thinking must go into the funding and dissemination of this next generation of scientific tools on the Web.

Apache Jena - Welcome to Jena - Java framework for building Semantic Web applications

incubator.apache.org/jena/


Welcome to the Apache Jena project! Jena is a Java framework for building Semantic Web applications. Jena provides a collection of tools and Java libraries to help you to develop semantic web and linked-data apps, tools and servers.
The Jena Framework includes:
  • an API for reading, processing and writing RDF data in XML, N-triples and Turtle formats;
  • an ontology API for handling OWL and RDFS ontologies;
  • a rule-based inference engine for reasoning with RDF and OWL data sources;
  • stores to allow large numbers of RDF triples to be efficiently stored on disk;
  • a query engine compliant with the latest SPARQL specification
  • servers to allow RDF data to be published to other applications using a variety of protocols, including SPARQL
