New UMBEL Portal Released

[mkbergman]

Hi All,

We released a new portal for UMBEL yesterday. The new portal is based
on Structured Dynamics' Open Semantic Framework (OSF) [1], and
specifically the structWSF platform-independent Web services. The new
portal contains both upgraded existing Web services and some exciting
new ones.

The new UMBEL portal is a fairly classic example of an OSF
installation. The content management system hosting the system is
Drupal, supplemented with a standard set of third-party modules and
SD's own conStruct [2] semantic technology modules. The theme is a
stripped-down modification of the popular Pixture Reloaded theme. Like
other vocabulary sites, the UMBEL site contains specifications and
links to community resources and downloads. It also has some specialty
links not shown on typical standards sites.

Yesterday's release announcement [3] is to be followed by detailed
posts describing the notable features and Web services of the site.

Mike
