Schemas

• NiceTag: an OWL ontology to represent social tagging acts

• SemSNA: an RDFS schema to support semantic social network analysis

• Webmarks: an RDFS ontology to extend the notion of bookmarks to any kind of resource on the web

Corese

Corese stands for Conceptual Resource Search Engine. It is a Semantic Web Factory that enables the processing of RDFS, RDF, SPARQL and RDF Rules. KGRAM is a new generic SPARQL 1.1 interpreter that can process labelled graphs in addition to RDF.

The web is no longer perceived as a documentary system built on a simple protocol (HTTP), a simple addressing scheme (URI) and a simple document formatting language (HTML). It grew to become a huge network of distributed data, applications and users where many flows of heterogeneous messages travel. The web is an object of science: it is a very complex system that requires a multidisciplinary scientific approach. Our institutes are more and more solicited to understand how these data and interactions can be processed, supported, controlled, exploited or improved.
