An Aspect-Oriented Ontology Development Plug-In for Desktop Protégé 5
Our plug-in extends the Protégé Ontology Editor (link is external) by a set of useful features for Aspect-Oriented Ontology Development, such as
- Definition of pointcuts using the SPARQL (link is external) query language.
- An inference service extension for aspect-oriented ontologies that infers entailments caused by the presence of aspects.
Aspects as Editing Context: A Widget for the WebProtégé OWL Editor
We are taking the complexity out of Aspect-Oriented Ontology Development with our editing component for Web Protégé (link is external) that lets ontology developers use aspects as editing contexts which can be switched by the click of a button.
Aspect OWL API
Our aspect-oriented extension of the OWL API (link is external) allows Semantic Web application developers to make use of the benefits of Aspect-Oriented Ontology Development (AOOD) programmatically simply by adding Java annotations (link is external) to their code.

Provalets
Provalets are rule-based software agents that act as inference component providing rule-based data access, processing and analytics functionalities using the Prova rule engine and language. Provalets are automatically deployed in trusted OSGi component run-time environments such as OSGI-compliant smart edge devices, as well as more centralized cloud infrastructures, ESBs or agent frameworks. The component-based agent model of Provalets allows encapsulating data intensive routines and rule-based analytic, decision and reaction logic at the component (e.g. device) level, ensuring, e.g., interface-based access, data/information hiding and privacy.

RoleDisc Plugin for Confluence
RoleDisc is a plugin that provides Role Discovery features within the collaborative software Confluence. Still in a prototype phase, the plugin provides a visual representation of the users who worked on each page as well as a global graph that shows the interactions between users and assigns roles to each one of them. Future releases will also mine the content of the pages to provide deeper insights about the activities of all actors in the system.

Ontology Modularization Framework
The Ontology Modularization Framework is based on the SONIVIS:Tool for network analysis and allows for easy ontology analysis and modularization. (more)
SVoNt - SVN-based ontology versioning
SVoNt is a version control system for ontologies based on the SVN-system which is well-known from software engineering. The major difference to other approaches for ontology versioning is our focus on the visualization of revisions of changes on the concept level. (more)
OntoMaven - Maven-based ontology project management
OntoMaven is a set of Maven plug-ins supporting the management and engineering of ontologies from distributed (Maven) ontology repositories. (more)
Ontology Grouping and Documentation Tool
To support the processs of creating such concept groups for the documentation of ontologies we extended the SpecGen tool with an automatic concept grouping functionality. (more)
COLM - Corporate Ontology Lifecycle Methodology
COLM is based upon a two parts ontology lifecycle, which has been concluded from requirements that we derived from an analization of industrial needs. (more)

loomp - Web 3.0 Content Authoring
Loomp is a Web 3.0 Semantic Content Authoring tool developed by the Corporate Semantic Web group. It supports: (1) Create semantically enhanced content as easy as to format texts italic, without knowing about semantic technologies, and with automatically proposed annotations. (2) Compile content and publish in various formats. (3) Support the reader by highlighting the relevant information. (more)
Wiki Link Recommender
In this project we develop extensions to existing wiki systems that ease the pain of creating links between wiki pages. (more)
Wiki Expert Finder
Finding Experts in a Collboration Wiki (more)
Extreme Tagging
Tagging has become the most common way of annotating information and knowledge in a wide range of applications. The activity of tagging consists in creating an association between a resource (information) and another entity (a tag). (more)
Trend Mining Ontology
Trendontologies improve the quality of automated trend detection. We used a knowledge-based approach and utilized formalized expert knowledge which we used to model three lightweight trend ontologies. (more)
RDF Preprocessing
In order to retrieve RDF-triples from a text stream, we have to preprocess texts. Our preprocessing component uses statistical parser from Stanford University and creates a timeline with parsed texts. (more)
DBPedia Deutsch

DBpedia Deutsch Spotlight is a web service for the annotation of the DBpedia Deutsch resources in German language texts. (more)
leoné - a Light-weight Editor of Ontologies for Non-Experts
At the moment some ontology editors are available to model ontologies in research and industry, e.g., Protegé, TopBraid Composer, and OntoStudio. However, these tools are too complex and offer too much functionality that even experts in semantic technologies can hardly operate them properly. In contrast, our work focuses on developing an easy-to-use and light-weight ontology editor which can be used by non-experts w.r.t. semantic technologies. (more)
