SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE

I have participated in the development of the ontology editor SWOOP and the DL reasoner Pellet. In particular, I have worked on providing E-Connections support in both of them. A library of E-Connected ontologies written in an extension of OWL and that can be loaded, browsed and edited in SWOOP is available here.
An online Pellet demo is available here.
