Zepheira will be presenting two papers at the W3C RDF Next Step Workshop on the future of RDF on June 26-27, 2010. The goal of the workshop is to gather feedback from the Semantic Web community on whether and in which direction RDF should evolve.
Zepheira will present a new RESTful RDF Store API supporting named queries and change isolation. Zepheira will also propose alternative handling of rdf:List in SPARQL. For more information on the workshop and to review the papers look here.
Callimachus is a Semantic Web framework for easily building hyperlinked Web applications. Callimachus allows Web authors to quickly and easily create Semantically-enabled Web applications with a minimal knowledge of Semantic Web principles or experience building other Web applications. Callimachus uses RDFa as both a query language and display template to make it quick and easy to create your own metadata management tools.

Zepheira partner David Wood and contractor James Leigh worked with JES to develop a reusable, Open Source editor for Resource Description Framework content as a key portion of this work. Read more
Zepheira announces Callimachus, an Open Source Software project to allow Semantic Web applications to be easily made by Web authors. Callimachus builds on Mulgara (an established Semantic Web database), Ali Baba (an object-to-RDF mapping technology) and a new generalized, configurable RDF editor. The project will officially launch in December 2009. In the meantime, a slide show is available to preview Callimachus’ features.
Callimachus has been made possible by support from JES & Co., the National Science Foundation and Zepheira.
