pOWL is an open source semantic web development plattform implemented in PHP. pOWL is designed for the “collaborative, distributed development of ontologies”, motivating the choice of PHP”

“Since PHP is by far the most distributed web development technology (as regularly confirmed by Netcraft), the semantic web paradigm will probably only be successful in a broad perspective if there are applications and tools available tightly interacting with this language. The aim of the pOWL project is thus to deliver a PHP and web-based ontology edititing and management solution to the OpenSoure community.”

IMHO the most important word in ’semantic web’ is the second one, so it makes sense that tools that are tightly integtrated into the web may well be required for the success of the semantic web.
