The Semantic Web has motivated grassroots efforts to develop and publish ontology specifications in RDF. So far, the large amount of RDF data available online has not been utilized to the extent possible. SECO, the application presented in this paper, aggregates, integrates, and displays RDF data obtained from the Semantic Web. SECO collects the RDF data available in files using a crawler, and also utilizes RDF repositories as sources for data. Integration tasks over the various data sources, such as object consolidation and schema mapping, are carried out using a reasoning engine and are encapsulated in mediators to which software agents can pose queries using a remote query interface. SECO includes a user interface component that emits HTML, which allows for human users to browse the integrated data set.
