Installing a Semantic Web Environment

On Ubuntu 10.04
I'll be doing some tests on Jena Framework for the Semantic Web. First things first we need to install Jena. As long as Java is correctly configured to install Jena we just need:
1. Download Jena
2. Unzip it in any folder
3. Run the test as said in this instruction tutorial

We will also need a Java IDE, as recommended by this book: Semantic web programming. I have installed Eclipse in my Ubuntu 10.04. It is very easy:

$sudo apt-get install eclipse

On Windows 7


1. Setting up the environment variable:
http://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/java/15inout/windows-cmd.html

2. Java editor: Eclipse

3. Ontology editor: Protégé

4. Semantic web programming framework: Jena

5. Pellet reasoner

That's it!

This is a basic environment installation. I'll be doing more interesting things by following the above book. The book has a web site in which they have all the source code they use.
