The SKOS API is a Java interface and implementation for the W3C Simple Knowledge Organisation System SKOS. For more information about SKOS see here. An implementation of the SKOS API is provided which uses the OWL 2 API, at present you will need to obtain the OWL API seperately from the OWL 2 website. [UPDATE 12-09-2011] The current release of the SKOS API has been deprecated, a new version_3 developer branch is available in the SVN repository that works with the latest OWL API v3.
For more information please contact the user group at skos-dev@googlegroups.com
The SKOS API is open source and is available under the LGPL License
The SKOS API includes the following components:
An API for the major SKOS constructs and an efficient in-memory reference implementation based on the OWL 2 API
Abstract data model for working for SKOS that avoids commitment to any of the concrete syntaxes, such as RDF
RDF/XML parser and writer
OWL/XML parser and writer
OWL Functional Syntax parser and writer
Turtle parser and writer
Support for extending the underlying SKOS data model via the OWL 2 API
Support for integration with reasoners such as Pellet and FaCT++
Range of convenience methods for working with SKOS
Wicket is a lightweight, component-oriented framework that does much to bring the easy, intuitive interfaces found in desktop applications to Java Web development. In this series Nathan Hamblen (of databinder and coderspiel blog ) introduces key aspects of Wicket that differentiate it from other Web application frameworks This first ( of 3 ) article investigates Wicket's virtual state, demonstrating the many ways Wicket accommodates both stateless and stateful Web application development.
Java applications are typically deployed in multiple environments and platforms, each requiring some unique configuration. JFig gives developers a simple yet powerful tool to manage their applications’ configuration. It allows them to:
1. Store application configuration in one common repository of XML files
2. Access configuration data using one common, convenient interface
3. Easily define multiple configurations, dynamically modifying those variables that need to change in different situations
4. Eliminate the error prone practice of defining the same configuration variables in multiple locations
5. Ease the management, deployment, and control of configuration files
SCPSolver should enable a Java developer to use Linear Programming in less than 10 minutes.
Most solvers for linear programs are implemented in C/C++ for performance reasons. Java developers can use JNI interfaces for some solvers. However most interfaces are pretty difficult to setup, and lock the developer in to a specific solver. SCPSolver was developed to overcome those issues. The library has the following features:
easy to deploy on Linux, Mac Os X and Windows with prebuilt linear programming libraries (almost dependency-free)
plugin-concept: write model, use different solvers to solve it
currently supported solvers:
GLPK
lpsolve
CPLEX (solver pack must be built by script by user)
low learning curve: very simple, no-frills API
other features: implementation of sparse matrices and graphs, debugger for linear programs, prebuilt models for common optimization problems like set cover, ...
The Doolin framework allows the rapid development of Swing applications. It uses the Spring framework as a support for its configuration and extensibility.
