Projects
This page lists public software projects I am involved in at the moment or had been involved in the past. “Public” does not necessarily mean “open-source”, but the software or the service one can or could find on the Net. For instance, this does not include the private proprietary pieces developed for the customers over the years, as well as my own internal and experimental stuff.
Aduna AutoFocus / Aduna Enterprise Search
A poweful platform for semantic search and information discovery, developed at Aduna and powered by its open-source Semantic Web technology stack (Sesame, Aperture, ClusterMap). Being open-sourced originally, the platform now is a foundation of commercial solutions for Enterprise Search and Digital Forensics areas.
I have joined development at Aduna in April of 2008.
Nottingham University People-Concepts Network
Development of a socio-semantic People-Concepts Network prototype was started at Nottingham University within Laboranova Integrated project (FP6 – 035262) funded by European Commission. I’ve been involved in research, design and development for this project since January, 2009.

SCAN (Smart Content Aggregation and Navigation) Desktop
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.

RDFBeans
http://rdfbeans.sourceforge.net
Java-to-RDF databinding framework for transparent mapping of the 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 framework is originated from PCN infrastructure tools and released in August 2009 at SourceForge.

In the past
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 concept 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).
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).
Other projects
I also have had minor contributions into the following software:
- Aperture Framework: Patches.
- SourceKibitzer portal: Export of RDF (DOAP and FOAF) profiles of the registered software projects and
