TOOLS

LISTS OF TOOLS

• Programming with RDF (http://www.rdfabout.com/programming.xpd)
A short list of programming environments by languages
• Developers Guide to Semantic Web Toolkits (http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/bizer/toolkits/index.htm)
An extensive list with comparison tables that indicate additional technical details (e.g. supported databases, query languages). Most importantly, this site includes information on the number of developers working on the toolkit, the number of downloads (if known) and whether there is an active mailing list. This information gives an idea of the size of the project and whether it has an active user community for support and sharing.
• Semantic Web Development Tools (http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Tools)
The W3C's Semantic Web wiki provides information on about 275 tools divided into about two dozen categories (e.g. "RDF generator," "SPARQL endpoints," "Validator"). Because it is a wiki you can easily see the history of the entries and therefore get a quick idea of the "freshness" of the information.
• Sweet-tools (http://www.mkbergman.com/sweet-tools/)
Mike Bergman has compiled a list of about one thousand tools in a small number of categories. The list is searchable by category or keyword in the name or description. This is a handy list if you are looking for a tool in a particular programming language, because you can filter retrievals by language. Be sure to check the web pages of the tool to get an idea of its level of use and community support.
• Library Linked Data Tool for Developers (http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/LLDtools)
