I've posted a few months ago about Piggy Bank, without clearly stating it is but one of the various tools developed by the Simile Project, Semantic Interoperability of Metadata and Information in unLike Environments. All RDF-based stuff, but user-friendly, a qualifier which does not come to mind when looking at some other RDF tools (no names, please). Have a look at Longwell browser, for example. You can try it on-line to find your way through W3C specifications. Local installation requires a bit of Java logistics, not tried it yet.
What people say about what they do is also interesting stuff. I had mentioned Stefano's Lynotype before. Posts are not frequent, but always thoughtful. See e.g. Data First vs. Structure first.

Deep Web Research
The link under the title points to an entity that is, on the surface, interesting:
On the surface, it sounds like they are doing topic mapping of one sort of another. What is more interesting (to me) is how I landed on that site: mostly by way of a search for everything that is knowable about UIMA, IBM's Unstructured Information Management Architecture, which is being announced this week at LinuxWorld to go open source. It is already an Eclipse plugin. One of the search hits suggested that DeepWebResearch might be using UIMA in its technology.
Whether quantum mechanics, or category theory, or plain old propositional logic is at work, it is necessary that some form of information resource harvesting will be necessary. It seems a bit of great news that we can start pulling together a large array of available open source products to assemble ever more powerful harvesting tools.
DeepWebResearch.info is a Subject Tracer™ Information Blog developed and created by the Virtual Private Library™. It is designed to bring together the latest resources and sources on an ongoing basis from the Internet for deep web research which are listed below.

Piggy Bank
Piggy Bank is an extension to the Firefox web browser that turns it into a “Semantic Web browser”, letting you make use of existing information on the Web in more useful and flexible ways.Not tried it yet, but sound interesting. Based on so-called folksologies, as explained in accompanying blog, Stefano's Lynotype.
