Do you know open source projects generating any kind of (preferable HTML) forms (templates) based on the properties the actual class has? There are interesting issues as ranking the attributes or displaying complex ones, so I'd review any existing work if there is any.

Thanks, Barna

You could use Ontowiki (http://ontowiki.net/Projects/OntoWiki) to display Forms based on your ontology. It uses its own ontology to allow you modifications on the interface.

I don't know anything about ranking for attributes though.

What I'd need is something like reflection in Java. An API to discover classes. – Barna Feb 10 at 13:58

OntoWiki (answer 1) does this, but it uses a separate project for this called RDFauthor. RDFauthor is a JavaScript API which generates HTML Forms out of RDFa-pages or from a rdf/json model.

Probably, you are looking for something similar to ActiveRDF (http://activerdf.org). It is a framework for Ruby language that provides abstractions to transparently interact with RDF vocabularies. It has adapters for various RDF stores including Redland, Sesame, Jena, etc. I see it as a powerful and convenient framework. Hope that helps.

	Harshal, Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately the URL above doesn't load for me. – Barna Apr 25 at 12:46
	Oh! See if this helps github.com/net7/ActiveRDF – Harshal Apr 25 at 13:38
	BTW, you can use ActiveRDF with Ruby on Rails. Rails should help in generating web UI and interactions whereas ActiveRDF can be semantic back-end. – Harshal Apr 26 at 5:30
