SOBOLEO (Social Bookmarking and Lightweight Engineering of Ontologies) is a system for web-based collaborative engineering of SKOS ontologies and annotation of web resources. Users collaboratively create a taxonomy, use it to annotate web resources and use it as background knowledge during search. SOBOLEO consists of 4 main parts:
- Search: A search engine that searches through the annotated web resources using the taxonomy as background knowledge.
- Browse: An interface to browse through the taxonomy and the annotated resources.
- Annotate: An annotation interface to add bookmarks to the index. You can drag the annotation button to your browsers bookmark panel to have it work as a bookmarklet. You can use concepts from the taxonomy and arbitrary tags to annotate web resources.
- Edit: A collaborative real time editor for the taxonomy - this means you can see the changes other people do to the taxonomy in real time - its more fun to use it if you find someone else to edit at the same time. Please note that this is a taxonomy collaboratively edited by everyone.
SOBOLEO is run by the IPE Group of the FZI Research Center for Information Technologies, Germany. If you have questions, please contact us (all@soboleo.com).
It was written in Java using Google Web Toolkit (GWT) by Simone Braun and Valentin Zacharias.
For more information, see www.soboleo.com where user guides are available and papers on the underlying ontology maturing process model are availabled (co-authors Andreas Schmidt and Andreas Walter).
