ArcCatalog Metadata Tools

swatson — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 06:20:00 -0800

ArcCatalog is part of the ArcGIS software package and includes a form entry tool for developing FGDC compliant metadata. The metadata files can be stored in XML, HTML, SGML among other formats. The files can be edited in the tool. It is also possible to import metadata from other files (e.g., if you develop a template) or to export metadata for use in other files (e.g., as a template).p>

BioPortal 2.0

carynn — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:58:20 -0700

BioPortal allows users to browse, upload, download, search, comment on, and create mappings for ontologies.

Users can browse and explore individual ontologies by navigating either a tree structure or an animated graphical view. Users can also view mappings and ontology metadata, and download ontologies.

Additionally, users who are signed in may also submit a new ontology to the library. All submissions to the library are reviewed.

CIMA Ontology

graybeal — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 22:17:00 -0800

CIMA is aimed at "Grid enabling" instruments as real-time data sources to improve accessibility of instruments and to facilitate their integration into the Grid. They are developing semantic metadata (in OWL/RDF) using a web-based tool, so that the semantic metadata can be used to drive the WSDL/SOAP middleware.

Cmap Tools

kwalz — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 09:35:00 -0800

From web site: "The IHMC CmapTools program empowers users to construct, navigate, share and criticize knowledge models represented as concept maps.

DAG-Edit

kwalz — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:50:00 -0800

The DAG-Edit datamodels are all enclosed in the org.bdgp.apps.dagedit.datamodel package.

Note that most datamodel classes are mutable, and their fields can be directly written by any piece of code that can access them. However, this should almost never be done. The ontologies represented by DAG-Edit are rooted, labeled, directed acyclic graphs. Each node may have multiple parents and children, but there is a single root node. Each relationship between parent and child (or child and parent) is labeled (with a TermRelationshipType).

DL-workbench

kwalz — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:50:00 -0800

From web site: "DL-workbench contains three main modules. First module defines a meta-model for description of ontological formalisms. It provides an API that allows management of ontological entities, containers of entities, reasoner connection and many other features that are useful when one needs to use an ontological model within its project. A second module of DL-workbench is a formalism-independent user interface for edition of meta-model based ontologies. This module uses the meta-model and is implemented as a plug-in to the IBM Eclipse [10] platform.

EXPRESS Data Manager VisualExpress

kwalz — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:50:00 -0800

A complete system with a major focus on industrial data management. The associated EDMmodelChecker will also validate data against user defined rule schemas.

Generic Knowledge-Base Editor

kwalz — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:50:00 -0800

From web site: "The GKB-Editor (Generic Knowledge Base Editor) is a tool for graphically browsing and editing knowledge bases across multiple Frame Representation Systems (FRSs) in a uniform manner. It offers an intuitive user interface, in which objects and data items are represented as nodes in a graph, with the relationships between them forming the edges. Users edit a KB through direct pictorial manipulation, using a mouse or pen.

ICOM (Intelligent Conceptual Modelling)

kwalz — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:50:00 -0800

From web site: "The intention behind ICOM is to provide a simple, freeware conceptual modelling tool that demonstrates the use of, and stimulates interest in, the novel and powerful knowledge representation based technologies for database and ontology design. In particular, we are interested to cooperate with researchers and companies considering the opportunity to incorporate these technologies in their tools. A new version of ICOM for designing UML class diagrams is under development."

Matlab XML Toolbox

ngalbraith — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 06:20:00 -0800

The XML Toolbox converts MATLAB data structures of any level of nesting into an XML string. It also reads most types of XML strings/files and converts these into a Matlab structure.

Six simple functions are provided for this task:

xml_format()
xml_formatany()
xml_parse()
xml_parseany()
xml_load()
xml_save()
xml_help

MetaMod 2.x

graybeal — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:49:21 -0700

From web site:

The purpose of the METAMOD 2.x software is threefold:

To manage a local data repository with scientific data files.
To manage a database with metadata for scientific data sets. Data sets are collections of data files, either in the local repository, or in external repositories.
To provide a web portal for searching and browsing the metadata database.
