Projects
This page lists public software projects I am involved in at the moment or had been involved in the past. It does not include pieces of proprietary software I’ve written for customers over the years.
Ongoing
Laboranova People-Concepts Network
A prototype of a socio-semantic People-Concepts Network is under development at Nottingham University within Laboranova Integrated project (FP6 – 035262) funded by European Commission. I am involved in research, design and development for this project since January, 2009.

SCAN
Smart Content Aggregation and Navigation is a semantic desktop software between metadata manager, desktop search engine and text mining framework, designed with new user experience of personal document management and desktop navigation in mind.
The sourcecode was published in September 2007 under Apache 2 License.
See also my posts tagged with “SCAN”.
RDFBeans
http://rdfbeans.sourceforge.net
Java-to-RDF databinding framework for transparent mapping JavaBean-like objects to RDF resources and vice versa. RDFBeans is built upon RDF2Go abstraction layer to provide object persistence with a number of existing RDF triple store implementations.
The project was opened at SourceForge in August 2009.

Past
AutoFocus / Aduna Enterprise Search Server
A server for enterprise search and faceted navigation, developed by Aduna software company (NL) and powered by its own semantic technology stack (Sesame, Spectacle, ClusterMap).
RUSMECO Portal
An experimental Drupal-based collaboration platform for SME cooperation on Communities of Practice principles. This work was a part of the RUSMECO project (FP6/STREP, INCO-PL516752) funded by European Commission (2005-2007).
Memoranda
Personal information manager with advanced diary management, tasks planning and scheduling functions. The project is started on SourceForge.net in 2003 as a continuation of JNotes (see below).
Since 2008, I’ve suspended my participation in Memoranda for an unknown period.
See my weblog posts tagged with “Memoranda”. You can read also “About Memoranda” two-part essay: [1, 2].
SOFA: Simple Ontology Framework API
A Java API for modeling ontologies by simple and intuitive way. It’s been written mostly as a proof of the belief that “the Semantic Web things should be coded easily” – the effort, supported by Kowari (now Mulgara) project, which adopted SOFA as one of the front-end APIs to its RDF store.
The sourcecode was published in 2004 at SemWebCentral.
Jacinth
http://sf.net/projects/jacinth
A Rich Text/WYSIWYG editor component for Java/Swing applications. The project has been parted from Memoranda (by architectural reasons) in October, 2006. See Jacinth announce .
jNotes
A predecessor of Memoranda. I started the project on SourceForge in 2002 and stopped supporting it in 2003 because of launching Memoranda (initially JNotes2-alpha).
Other projects
I also have had minor contributions into the following software:
- SourceKibitzer portal: Export of RDF (DOAP and FOAF) profiles of the registered software projects and
developers. - Kowari Metastore (now Mulgara): Integration with the SOFA API.
- Apache FOP: Hyphenation patterns for Russian, patches.
