Wilbur Semantic Web Toolkit for CLOS

Wilbur is Nokia Research Center's toolkit for programming Semantic Web applications that use RDF (as well as XML and/or DAML+OIL), written in Common Lisp. It was developed by the Agent Technology group of Nokia Research Center. The work was supported in part by Nokia Mobile Phones (NMP) and Nokia Ventures Organization (NVO), as well as Nokia Venture Partners, LP. Wilbur is part of Nokia's Semantic Web activity (and in the broader sense part of Nokia's commitment to open standards).

If you thought Wilbur was dead, you have been misinformed. Stay tuned for more information/releases.
