What is HyperDE

HyperDE (MVC framework and development environment for semantic web applications) is a combination of a MVC framework (built upon  Ruby on Rails) and a development environment for creating semantic web prototype applications.

HyperDE was built as the implementation task for the master thesis of  Demetrius Nunes and its modeling and process theory is based upon the  Object-Oriented Hypermedia Design Method (OOHDM) and the  Semantic Hypermedia Design Method(SHDM).

HyperDE is now a open-souce project. The latest version of the complete source code for the main trunk can be retrieved from its subversion repository at  http://server2.tecweb.inf.puc-rio.br:8000/svn/hyperde/trunk. If you prefer, you can download archived versions from DownloadArchives.
