Software tools supporting RacerPro:
Native RacerPro tools
These tools are specially built for direct interaction with RacerPro. They utilize native access methods and benefit from the feedback of the RacerPro server.
RacerManager has been developed to serve as an OWL-QL application server for the DL Reasoner RacerPro. Clients such as software agents or web applications can reference and query any OWL ontology by calling the OWL-QL web service using standards such as SOAP and WSDL.
This brand-new application is being developed by Racer Systems and is the standard for managing a RacerPro-based system. RacerPorter is included in all licenses of RacerPro.
RICE is being developed by Ronald Cornet, University of Amsterdam.
Developments in the research community
There are many tools made to support the research, education and work in the area of knowledge management, knowledge engineering, description logic and semantic web which offer interaction with a reasoner (or inference system) like RacerPro.
Protégé is a free, open source ontology editor and knowledge-base framework, developed by the Stanford Medical Informatics and supported by a wide range of developers and academic, government and corporate users, who are using Protégé for knowledge solutions in areas as diverse as biomedicine, intelligence gathering, and corporate modeling.
OntoTrack is being developed at the University of Ulm, Germany. OntoTrack is a new browsing and editing "in-one-view" ontology authoring tool which you can use to load and to edit multiple OWL Lite ontologies in parallel.
OntoXpl has been developed at the Concordia University of Montreal, Canada. Use OntoXpl to explore OWL ontologies with the help of RacerPro. OntoXpl retrieves the implicit information and reorganizes them in a way such that users can get a global picture of the ontology information.
OilEd was developed by Sean Bechhofer of the University of Manchester. OilEd is an ontology editor allowing the user to build ontologies using DAML+OIL.
TRIPLE is an RDF query, inference and transformation language for the Semantic Web.
