Changes to Semantic Web research at HP
HPLabs management
have decided not to continue with an active programme of Semantic Web
research at HPL. Members of the Semantic Web research group are moving
to other roles, both inside and outside HP: please consult personal
blogs and similar sources for revised contact details.
The Jena platform and associated development projects remain
open source under the liberal BSD-style license. With HP's support,
we are in the process of transferring ownership of the
copyright of the code from HP to a commercially neutral body.
There is no change for individuals or companies using
Jena, and
the move will make it easier to continue and expand
the core developer community. Indeed it will enable us to accept
contributions more easily.
Many current members of the Jena team will remain involved in further
enhancements to the Jena codebase, and supporting the user community
via the jena-dev
email list. The Jena source code remains at
SourceForge, and the new
web address for Jena is www.openjena.org.
We would like to thank
all of the various research groups, customers, Jena users
and individual contributors we have worked with over the years as
we have built the Jena platform to its current state. We look
forwards to future enhancements to Jena's capability, and to
helping to create other exciting developments in Semantic Web technologies
and products.
The HP Semantic Web Team – October 2009
