The Tetherless World Weblog

The Tetherless World invites users of Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch to try out our new ontology browser, OWL Mobile.

OWL Mobile is powered by Jena and Pellet, operating remotely, to provide speed and battery performance mobile devices users expect from their applications. Load one or more ontologies through the Load Ontologies tab. Supply a URL to a custom ontology or use the list of past ontologies. Once you’ve loaded an ontology, use the “Classes”, “Properties”, and “Individuals” tabs to browse through the ontology. Clicking on an item will expand it and give additional information about that particular object. Links which point to other members of the ontology will switch to the appropriate URI when clicked. External links such as web pages, email address, and phone numbers will open the appropriate application on iPhone (phone numbers won’t work on the iTouch) when activated.

Point Safari to http://onto.rpi.edu/demo/owlmobile2/ to try the application. Feel free to bookmark it or add it to the home screen for easy access.

By popular request (okay, a couple of people asked for it), I have put my Talk from Semantic Technologies 2008 online - warning, it’s about 22M pdf (lots of gratuitous images to keep things fun)

Enjoy.

The “Tetherless World Constellation” at RPI is now up, functioning and blogging. Our website is now available (http://tw.rpi.edu) with more to come. See what Jim Hendler, Deborah McGuinness, Li Ding and a bunch of students are up to.
