Elmo 0.1.1; an ontology API for Sesame We are proud to announce the first public release of Elmo: a toolkit for developing Semantic Web applications using the popular Sesame storage, query and inference facility. Elmo provides a dedicated API for a number of well known web ontologies including Dublin Core, RSS and FOAF. The dedicated API makes it easier to work with RDF data for the supported ontologies. The API is extensible and is expected to cover a larger set of existing web ontologies in future releases. Elmo also offers a set of tools related to the supported ontologies, including an RDF crawler, a FOAF smusher and a FOAF validator. Elmo is open source software and is distributed under the LGPL license. Download pointers and support for Elmo are available at: http://www.openrdf.org Feedback on this first public release is highly appreciated. The Elmo discussion forums can be found at http://www.openrdf.org/forum Special thanks to the team of openrdf.org (Jeen Broekstra and Arjohn Kampman) for their help and support for this project.
