The Semantic Web Framework: A Component-Based Framework for the Development of Semantic Web Applications

Semantic Web technology development and reuse is difficult for people outside the research community. This paper presents the Semantic Web Framework, a structure in which Semantic Web applications can be organised and developed. This component-based framework contains the definition of the semantic-related software components that can be used in the development of Semantic Web applications, the dependencies that exist between these components, and the existing implementations of components that can be used in this framework.
