software

Software development is, for us, the occasion to implement the concepts elaborated in our research activity. It can be the occasion of technological transfer, but we want to be able to use for research purpose any effort we invest in software. To that extent, we implement in an open, and if possible standard, framework. Conversely, we are very happy that other can take advantage of our results and tools, be it for research or extension purposes.

We develop and maintain (even beyond the Exmo lifetime) a few pieces of software:

• Alignment API and server, a Java API for ontology alignments;
• OntoSim, a Java library for ontology similarity and distances.

Some other pieces of software are in an unmaintained state, although usually still working as expected:

• Psparql, a query engine for the PSPARQL RDF query language extending SPARQL;
• Transmorpher, an XML transformation environment based on XSLT;
• Other software to which no page has been dedicated.
