Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW)
The Research Group Agile Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web (AKSW) is hosted by the Chair of 
Business Information Systems (BIS) of the Institute of Computer Science (IfI) / University of Leipzig as well as the Institute for Applied Informatics (InfAI). It consists of the three subgroups Emergent Semantics, Machine Learning and Ontology Engineering, and Semantic Abstraction.
DL-Learner Build 2010-08-07 released
We are happy to announce the next release of DL-Learner, a tool for learning OWL class expressions from examples and background knowledge. It extends Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) to Description Logics and the Semantic Web. The tool has matured over the past 3 years and is meanwhile used in a number of applications. Some features [...]
Networking Session on Governmental Linked Data at ICT2010
The Open Knowledge Foundation Working Group on EU Open Data (where AKSW is an active member) is organising a session on linked government data at the ICT2010 event in Brussels later this year.
Where? T 003, Brussels Expo
When? 11:00-12:30 CET, 28th September 2010
This networking session will discuss how public access to government data ? crucial for [...]
ORE 0.2 Released
Today, we released version 0.2 of the ontology repair and enrichment (ORE) tool. It is a tool for knowledge engineers to improve an OWL ontology through a wizard like repair process and uses state-of-the-art ontology debugging methods. The main feature in version 0.2 is a mode for incrementally detecting inconsistencies in large knowledge bases available [...]
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.
