Matters

From: Swoogle

Dear Swoogle users,

We are happy to annonounce that Swoogle now provides Web service interfaces at
http://taga.umbc.edu:8338/swoogle/ws.

Currently, we provide three services:
searchDocument: return a set of documents
searchTerm: return a set of terms with URI
digestTerm: return sevearl sets of documents which either defined or populated a given term.

The query syntax the the first two servies are the same as "Document Search" and "Lookup term"(in Ontology dictionary). The third one takes query string as the full URI of a term.

The result is encoded in RDF using swoogle ontology
(http://swoogle.umbc.edu/webservice/swoogle.owl )

To use these webservies, you may use the Swoogle service client, which can be downloaded at
http://swoogle.umbc.edu/webservice/swoogleclient1.0.zip.

The web services are still under testing on a fairly slow machine, please don't put too much traffic on it. Also, please share us your experience and let us know your suggestions.

Regards,

swoogle developers
