The Road to OntoWiki 1.0
As our new APIs slowly become stable it is time to annouce some of the new features. OntoWiki 1.0 will have an enhanced plug-in architecture and a lot of APIs that allow you to customize the user interface. In addition to plug-ins which have been around for some time, there are three new extension types:
Components
Modules
Wrapper

New OntoWiki Screencast
We’ve prepared a brand new OntoWiki Screencast from the source trunk to show some special features of the new OntoWiki.
In particular, this screencast demonstrates
the model dashboard with current discussions,
discussions on specific resources,
how to create a new property on a resource,
how to link a local resource with an external one (from sindice), and
how to gather linked [...]

Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW)
The Research Group Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW) is hosted by the Department for Business-oriented Information Systems (BIS) of the Institute of Computer Science (IfI) / University of Leipzig.
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
- Cofundos.org – is a platform for community innovation and funding of open source software; many individual donations and contributions are pooled together in order to realize intelligent software ideas.
- Powl – our Semantic Web application development platform OntoWiki is an adaptive semantic collaboration tool implementing the Web 2.0 idea of an architecture of participation.
- 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 concept/class definitions in Description Logics / OWL from examples.
- xOperator – a semantic agent for xmpp / jabber network which finds and shares content about resources (using RDF/SPARQL) for you and your jabber friends
- OpenResearch.org – a semantic Wiki for collecting and sharing scientific meta-data such as Cf Ps, tool descriptions, research profiles, conference statistics etc.
- Semantic data integration: R2D2 – a PHP tool and API component for mapping relational database content to RDF-based ontologies; Semantic LDAP – bridges the gap between LDAP and the Semantic Web.
Demos
Please have a look at our demos:
DBpedia.org: Querying Wikipedia like a knowledge base.
Cofundos.org: Community innovation and funding for open source.
Triplify.org: Make Web applications better mashable by exposing semantics.
xOperator: Interconnecting the Semantic Web with Instant Messaging Networks.
Wikipedia Query Builder: Query the over 10M facts extracted from Wikipedia
OntoWiki: Use social semantic collaboration to build comprehensive knowledge bases
DL-Learner: Earn class descriptions by semantically analysing objects
DBpedia Relationship Finder: Allows you to explore the DBpedia dataset to find relationships between two things
DBpedia Navigator: Search/browse in DBpedia and get recommendations on what you may be looking for
