Wandora

Wandora is a general purpose knowledge extraction, management, and publishing environment based on Topic Maps.

Wandora has graphical user interface, layered presentation of knowledge, several data storage options, rich data extraction, import and export capabilities, and open plug-in architecture. Wandora has also an embedded HTTP server enabling dynamic publication of topic maps. Wandora suits well for rapid ontology construction and knowledge mashups. Wandora's license is GNU GPL.
