Goals
- Development of methods, tools and applications for adaptive Knowledge Engineering in the context of the Semantic Web
- Research of underlying Semantic Web technologies and development of fundamental Semantic Web tools and applications
- Maturation of strategies for fruitfully combining the Social Web paradigms with semantic knowledge representation techniques
AKSW is committed to the open source, open access and open knowledge movements.
Projects
AKSW has launched a number of high-impact R&D projects:
- Triplify tackles the chicken-and-egg problem of the Semantic Web by providing a building block for the “semantification” of Web applications.
- SoftWiki – distributed, end-user-centred Requirements Engineering for evolutionary software development
- OntoWiki is a Semantic Data Wiki as well as an Application Framework providing support for agile, distributed knowledge engineering scenarios.
- DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and make this information available on the Web.
- DL-Learner tackles the problem of learning concepts / class expressions in Description Logics / OWL from examples.
Please look at the projects page for a comprehensive description of AKSW's funded as well as community and open source projects.
Demos
