AFAIK, JRC has released the source of their APPEL-engine and their
Proxy, which means you get a parser for both written in Java.

BTW, can you tell more about your project? Is there a URI with a
description of it?

Dear Mr. Wenning,

Our work is part of an EU project called "mummy - mobile
knowledge management" (mummy.intranet.gr) emphasizing
context-aware authoring, sharing, retrieval, and
presentation of multimedia content in spatially distributed
business processes.  The profiling component mentioned in
Kourosh's email is actually a context-manager that, among
others and in addition to the privacy protection mechanisms,
should guarantee the informational self-determination right
of its users and provide feedback on the disclosure of
personal data, retrospectively.  At this stage, we
unfortunately have no publications about our activities on
privacy-awareness, but the ideas about the context-manager
itself are described in the following papers (see 
http://mummy.intranet.gr/publications.html):
