Knowledge Integration Methodologies
SimMetrics
SimMetrics is a Java & C# .NET library of Similarity Metrics, e.g. edit distance's (Levenshtein, Gotoh, Smith-Waterman etc) also other measures, (e.g Soundex). All metrics return normalised measures as well as standard similarity algorithm output scores
Knowledge Sharing and Reuse
AKTiveDoc
Document Editing and browsing tool for the Semantic Web

AKTiveMedia
Tool for user-centred semi-automatic multimedia annotation. It also provides knowledge sharing capabilities for presenting semantic web annotated documents and search results.

K-Search
Search tool for distributed repositories (mainly RDF, but also traditional databases) based on Hybrid Search Technology. Patent is pending.

AktiveForm
Ontology-based environment for development and release of human centred knowledge capture applications. An ontology drives development of the knowledge capture strategy (realised as a set of HTML forms). At application time it enables capture of knowledge in the form of RDF statements. The extracted knowledge is then passed to search mechanisms (e.g. K-Search) or to create virtual documents.
Runes
Runes is a plugin-based framework that reverses the way of thinking about data processing: specify data accesses, and Runes will automatically choose an efficient representation for the data and execute the plugins to integrate it from different sources.

Saxon
Environment for IE rule writing based on finite state automata. It works on top of Runestone
