More businesses are realizing the value of Semantic Web development for Semantic SEO and marketing, enterprise BI, and richer data systems. Three months ago, a new project entered the Apache incubator that can remove many of the difficulties associated with developing for the Semantic Web. Clerezza is an OSGi-based application that helps developers to build applications that integrate perfectly with the Semantic Web. The project also provides a set of bundles in machine-understandable RDF/JSON formats for building RESTful Semantic Web applications and web services. It uses technologies like jQuery, Jena, Apache Felix, Jetty, and Jersey. Clerezza can also be used as a platform, providing compile and runtime requirements for building semantic applications. DZone interviewed Reto Bachmann-Gmür, the "father" of Clerezza who worked on the technology before it was donated by Trialox.
