AmpliGraph
Python library for Representation Learning on Knowledge Graphs
I am the creator of AmpliGraph, an open-source suite of graph representation learning models known as Knowledge Graph Embeddings.
AmpliGraph has won the Best Technical Advance In The Field Of Data Science/AI From A Research Organisation at the 2019 European DatSci & AI Awards!

Traffic Analytics for Linked Data
A traffic analytics platform for servers that publish Linked Data.
A service that mines access logs of registered Linked Data servers and extracts Linked Data-specific traffic metrics providing insights not available in traditional web analytics tools.
-
Shi3ld
Context-Aware Authorization for Graph Stores
Shi3ld is an access control (authorization) module for triple stores. Shi3ld protects SPARQL queries and HTTP operations on Linked Data.
-
Linked Data Spam Dataset
An annotated RDF dataset polluted by syntethic malicious triples. Useful to train and test Linked Data spam filters.
