Prior Version: 2.4.4

This major release introduces several significant improvements.

• Support for the free Calais text analysis service that can be used to extract RDF/OWL entities from arbitrary text and HTML documents. Also as SPARQLMotion module.
• Significant performance improvements for database projects, especially with Oracle 11g RDF databases. Smarter caching implemented.
• Usability improvements for graph: nodes can display images, a double-click on a node opens its form in a separate window, and other new features.
• Support for "follow-your-nose" importing to dynamically import linked namespaces.
• Better support for FOAF namespace for social network editing. Graph now uses foaf:depiction of images.
• Added logging support, keeping track of all edit steps in SPARQL update format.
• Much nicer editing support for SPARQLMotion scripts with visual module icons.
• Added user options to select server-side Oracle 11g inferencing.
