Thanks, Ross = Jena, a Semantic Web Framework = == Abstract == Jena is a semantic web framework for Java, based on W3C standards. == Proposal == Jena provides a semantic web framework in Java that implements the key W3C recommendations for the core semantic web technologies of RDF and SPARQL. Jena is a number of components and modules built on this core system. It currently includes: * an API for working with RDF * Parsers and writers for the RDF formats (RDF/XML, Turtle, N-triples, NQuads, TriG) * an implementation of SPARQL, the W3C standard RDF query language * multiple storage systems for RDF data including in-memory, file-backed, in SQL databases and in custom scalable storage systems * an API for manipulation of OWL * a rule-based inference engine * an implementation of GRDDL for extraction of RDF from XML formats * a standards compliant IRI library. The project includes facilities based around this core to encourage the creation of components and contributions both as part of Jena and also as companion open source activities. This proposal includes the main components of Jena: the main Jena download, ARQ, GRDDL, SDB, TDB, the IRI library and Joseki. Other components may be contributed later - we're just starting with the main part of Jena for now. == Background == The W3C recommendations provide detailed specifications and it is important to follow these standards so that independently built applications can exchange data over the web. Jena provides high quality Java implementations of RDF input/output and storage so that application writers can concentrate on the application, not the low-level details. W3C Semantic Web: http://www.w3.org/standards/semanticweb/ Jena has been on !SourceForge since 2001. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jena/ == Rationale == The open source project was originally created as part of a research activity in HPLabs. In building new systems, the researchers identified the value of a common platform that dealt with the low level details of the standards. This lead to engagement with the standards process and the creation of a framework that provided a library to deal with the details of semantic web standards. This work was released as Jena. The developers have contributed implementation experience back to the working groups. None of the contributors now work for HP. Providing a uniform contributor and licensing framework assists commercial use of Jena. == Current Status == Jena is already an established project with a large user base in industry and academia. It currently uses a BSD-style three-clause license with a number of contributing copyright holders. Support is primarily provided via the jena-...@groups.yahoo.com mailing list. The majority of the team was employed in HPLabs, and HP holds the majority of the copyright over the code - there are contributions from non-HP companies. HP decided to close the research group as of October 2009 and the people from HPLabs connected with the project have moved on to several different semantic web companies. This change does not immediately affect Jena because the people who were in HP still remain active contributors to Jena. The project continues to be supported and actively enhanced. There is now the opportunity to become an open source project without a single large organisation involved. === Meritocracy === The Jena team has always been self-determining; there has not been a project manager in charge of the effort. Instead, it has grown through individuals contributing to the codebase as part of their research activities. The team has organised itself to create the framework for builds, releases and public support, and people who had worked on Jena in HP, and moved to other companies and institutions, have continued to contribute. === Core developers === Jena originated within a research activity in HPLabs, starting around 2000. Contributors to jena have been active in W3C working groups including chairing the "RDF Core" working group and acting as document editors on several other working groups. W3C processes are public; jena contributors have been involved in public debate and decision making. People have since moved on from HP to several semantic web forced companies and to university positions. === Alignment === Jena is already in use in many commercial systems as well as widely used in academic research and teaching. We want to continue making this easy and at the same time encourage contribution in a well-known environment. Jena is already pretty much run in a collaborative open development style with communication on mailing lists. == Known Risks == =
