Semantic Annotations Proxy
we have made our most recent development, the Semantic Annotations Proxy, available as free service. Annotations link from meta-data documents to external, shared vocabularies such as ontologies or gazetteers. The proxy “injects” these references into existing source documents coming from remote Web services without the need to update existing systems. The semantic annotations proxy is available at http://semantic-proxy.appspot.com/
Some its features:
- It is fast: We are working directly on the data streams; sophisticated parsing and caching ensures high-performance.
- It is robust: Changes to the source document, e.g. due to updates to underlying data models, won’t affect the annotations.
- It is reliable: The proxy is running in the cloud. This will ensure scalability and availability.
- It is free: This is a free service, and all code developed for the proxy is open source.
- It is growing: For now we have support for WSDL Web services and the OGC Web Processing Service. Support for other standards is planned, and we will add new document types on request.
