OpenLink Software Inc (founded 1992) is a software company headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, USA. An acclaimed technology innovator, the company develops and deploys standards-compliant products covering data access middleware, data integration, data management, and distributed collaborative applications & frameworks (including social media).
It’s most recent innovations have been in the “Semantic Web” and “Linked Data” realms via initiatives such as DBpedia and the Linking Open Data Community (LOD).
OpenLink Software’s product catalog includes:
the OpenLink Universal Data Access (UDA) Suite comprising ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, ADO.NET, and XMLA Drivers and Data Providers, supporting all leading DBMS across all major hardware platforms and operating systems
the OpenLink Virtuoso Universal Server, available in both Open and Closed Source variations; a middleware and database engine hybrid that combines the functionality of a traditional RDBMS, ORDBMS, virtual database, RDF, XML, free-text, Web Application Server, and File Server functionality in a single server product offering
OpenLink Data Spaces, a Distributed Collaborative Web Application Platform, Social Network and Content Management System written using VSP, VSPX, JSP, and Ajax, running atop OpenLink Virtuoso
the OpenLink AJAX Toolkit (OAT), a JavaScript-based toolkit for browser-independent Rich Internet Application development. It includes a rich collection of UI Widgets/Controls, Event Management System, and a truly platform independent Data Access Layer called AJAX Database Connectivity. OpenLink AJAX Toolkit is fully OpenAjax Alliance Conformant.
the OpenLink Data Explorer (ODE), a browser extension (currently available for Firefox with additional browser support to follow) that adds a new option to the Web User Agent functionality realm in the form of new main and context menu options for viewing Data Sources associated with Web Pages. Also available as a Web browser-controlled, server-side tool, included within OAT (above).
the URIBurner service which delivers RDF-based structured descriptions of Web addressable resources (documents or real world objects) in a variety of formats through Generic HTTP URIs. The underlying technology is Virtuoso’s Sponger, which takes an existing Web-accessible resource (webpage, media) and generates an RDF graph of its metadata using existing well-known ontologies as well as site-specific knowledge. URIBurner then re-presents this data either as a new HTML webpage, or directly as RDF in a variety of serializations (RDF/XML, text/n3, Turtle, JSON).
the PingTheSemanticWeb repository of RDF documents. Users can notify this service that they created or updated an RDF document on their web site, to have it added to the repository. Users can also import the list of recently created and/or updated RDF documents.
