Description:
SemanticOrganizer is a collaborative knowledge management system designed to support the information storage and access needs of diverse NASA project teams, including distributed teams of scientists, engineers, and accident investigators. The system provides a customizable, semantically structured information repository that stores work products relevant to multiple projects of differing types. SemanticOrganizer contains a local repository for data, metadata, and links, but is also able to reference information available on arbitrary web servers. Semantic Organizer has been used to support a large number of teams in real world applications from astrobiology to robotics to engineering accident investigation.

Description:
The Madiera Portal provides access to an unprecedented quantity of social sciences quantitative datasets using an easy to use Yahoo-style interface. It works by harvesting statistical datasets published on the Semantic Web.
The Madiera Portal provides unified access to the resources (social sciences quantitative studies and variable groups) published by the data archives that take part to the Madiera project, a 5th Framework EU-project.
The resources are categorised using a set of multi and monolingual thesauri and classifications, currently:
GCL (UK Government Category List), CESSDA (Council of European Social Science Data Archives Classification) and ELSST (European Language Social Science Thesaurus).

Description:
The goal of the BioPAX group is to develop a common exchange format for biological pathways data.
The BioPAX project began at the Fourth BioPathways Consortium Meeting, a satellite of the ISMB'02 Conference held in Edmonton, Canada in August 2002. There it was decided that the creation of a standard data exchanage format for pathway information was not only a good first step toward building an open source pathway information resource, but also that such an exchange format would be a desirable end in itself as it would facilitate sharing of pathways information between existing databases, both public and private.
