    The project got the second prize at the SmartToys contest by the United Arab Emirates government and World Economic Forum in 2021.

  • Ontology Editor with Natural Language
    https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Fluent_Editor

    Fluent Editor is a tool for editing, manipulating, and querying complex ontologies written in OWL, RDF, or SWRL.

    It is fully compatible with most of the Semantic Web W3C standards—OWL, RDF, SPARQL, SKOS—but at the same time has an intuitive user interface that uses the Ontorion Controlled Natural Language (OCNL). It is a human-friendly alternative to XML ontology languages like OWL or RDF but is completely compatible with OWL2, RDF, and SWRL. Furthermore, the OCNL can also be used as a query language compatible with SPARQL.

    A successful tool used today in many heavy industry companies leveraging ontologies and semantics.
