[announcement] SIMILE Longwell 1.0 Released

The SIMILE project, a joint project conducted by the W3C, HP, MIT 
Libraries, and MIT CSAIL to promote semantic inteoperability of metadata 
between digital libraries, is happy to announce the release of their 
web-based general RDF browser.

Longwell is a Java web application written on top of Jena, Apache 
Velocity and Apache Lucene, providing the ability to browse and search 
any kind of RDF dataset, both thru facetted browsing and thru free-text 
search and thru the combination of the two.

Longwell can be tuned to different RDF ontologies with no need to write 
additional code.

Longwell is open source and it's released under a BSD-style license.

welcomes contributions, suggestions, bug reports and feature requests.
