Semantic Tool Hub: Towards a Sustainable Community-Driven Documentation of Semantic Web Tools

Achim Reiz, Fajar J. Ekaputra, Nandana Mihindukulasooriya

Abstract: The semantic web community has developed and still is developing a tremendous number of tools and software. While the activity underlines the continuous importance of the field and the commitment of its members, it also poses a challenge, especially for people entering the field. Identifying the right tools for one’s use case is increasingly difficult. A lot of software is no longer actively maintained, and going through all publications and source repositories to find the software with the proper set of functions is tedious. In this demo, we propose a workflow and an initial Wikidata-based toolkit to support knowledge engineers and developers in documenting and finding the right tools. We categorized existing tools into a pre-defined taxonomy and integrated them with GitHub metadata about their recent developments when applicable. The condensed information with the new taxonomy is integrated into Wikidata, ready for further use.
