Kepler is a multi-institutional, multidisciplinary development effort.
Gales, R. L. and A. M. Stewart, 2004. Taxonomic Object Service Version 1.0. Includes a taxonomic concept resolution interface that is publicly accessible from the web and a variety of clients (perl, python, java). This is an integrated product of the SEEK/taxon working group. The software is available from the SEEK CVS server and is distributed under an open source license. The service is accessible as a web service: http://seek.ittc.ku.edu:9080/TaxObjServ/services/TaxonomicObjectService?wsdl
Krivov S., F. Villa, and R. Williams. 2004. GrOWL. An open source, extensible Java framework for graphical browsing and editing of OWLDL knowledge bases.

Liu X., R. K. Peet, N.M. Franz, and L.L. Downey. 2006. ConceptMapper. ConceptMapper is a desktop tool to assist taxonomists to relate taxonomic concepts from one classification to another and to manage taxonomic concept metadata that precisely define taxonomic concepts. Database schema has been developed to hold taxonomic concept data, including scientific names, concept references, character and specimen circumscription information, parent-child relationships and third-party assertions that relate concepts between different classifications. Concept data stored in the database can be retrieved, visualized and changed through the ConceptMapper user interface. Main functions include importing , exporting, querying and viewing concept data, adding and editing relationships, concepts, references and specimens. Some other features include relationship expression validation, redo/undo support and preference settings. A help document is also developed and embedded with the tool to offer background information and usage guidance. ConceptMapper can be used by taxonomists to manage their data, especially in creating mappings across multiple classifications. It can also be used by those who need to know more about taxa in data interpretation and analysis as a convenient concept exploring tool. The ConceptMapper installation program can be downloaded from: http://cvs.ecoinformatics.org/cvs/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/seek/projects/taxon/conceptmapper/conceptmapper.msi?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain
Villa, F. 2004. Integrating Modelling Architecture (IMA). An ontology-driven modeling architecture that provides separation between the declaration of data and models and their visualization and execution, allowing enough semantic richness to enable arbitrary composition of models with automatic enforcement of semantic integrity and automated mediation between different representations and scales. It provides a base of concepts and algorithms for translation of formally specified conceptual descriptions of natural entities and their spatiotemporal contexts into generic executable workflows. IMA is an open source project (Integrating Modelling Toolkit) hosted at the Sourceforge community portal: http://sf.net/projects/imt.
