VOCBENCH

requirements covered:: most of the vocabulary modules we are developing for OntoLex

VOCBENCH is the tool originaly developed (with name AGROVOC Workbench Server) to edit Agrovoc. Today, it is a collaborative web application for editing thesauri. Semantic Turkey (a RDF framework from the University of Tor Vergata) and VocBench (both listed here: http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/SKOS) are being integrated into a new version (2.0) of VocBench, which will be released (hopefully..and likely) before the end of this Spring. Currently VocBench is being used by FAO for collaborative (multiuser) maintenance of their thesauri (Agrovoc, Biotech etc..), and we know of other parties adopting it (e.g. http://taskman.eionet.europa.eu/projects/gemet/wiki/VocBench for the GEMET thesaurus). The modeling vocabulary being used by VocBench is SKOS-XL.
