CoW is a "Controllable Wiki" and CMS that supports collaborative document creation with asynchonous off-line editing. CoW is desiged to make it easy to add interaction to static websites, and to support concurrent editing and off-line working with straightforward synchronisation (using Subversion). The system also serves as a test-bed for experiments in controlled languages for round-trip ontology engineering (from the GATE project: http://gate.ac.uk/).
Mustru is a desktop search engine written in Java using Lucene, Lingpipe, and the Berkeley DB . Create an index from a set of directories on your local filesystem and use the Web based interface to query the index. Submit questions in natural language or boolean queries using keywords.
KIM is a software platform for:
* Semantic annotation of text
At more length: automatic ontology population and open-domain dynamic semantic annotation of unstructured and semi-structured content for Semantic Web and KM applications
* Indexing and retrieval (semantically-enabled and IE-enhanced search technology)
* Query and exploration of formal knowledge
* Co-occurrence tracking and ranking of entities
* Entity popularity timelines analysis
