The SEALS project conducted the first worldwide evaluation of semantic tools using their SEALS platform. They evaluated ontology engineering tools, storage and reasoning systems, ontology matching tools, semantic search tools, and semantic web services tools. The results showed that certain tools performed better than others in each category. A white paper summarizing the results will be published soon, and the next evaluation campaign using the SEALS platform will begin in July 2011.

The SEALS platform is composed of seven components, four vertical components each one devoted to deal with the management of a SEALS entitiy, and two horizontal components, the first one devoted to the integration and coordination of the rest of the components, and the other devoted to the execution of the evaluations. The las t one is the SEALS portal that will be the UI of the platform. And this is how the different components are meant to be related to each other. The users will use the SEALS portal to submit entitiy management requests to the SEALS service manager, which will redirect to the appropriate entity management component. The user will also use the portal to submit evaluation requests to the SEALS service manager, which will forward the request to the Runtime Evaluation Service.
