1. Gruff: A Grapher-Based Triple-Store Browser

Gruff is a triple-store browser that displays visual graphs of small
subsets of a store's resources and their links, and can also display a
table of all properties of a selected resource. By selecting
particular resources and predicates, you can build a visual graph that
displays a variety of the relationships in a triple-store. If you've
watched any of the webinar series, you may have seen this tool in some
of the demonstrations. There is a short, under 5 minute screencast
introduction.

You can watch the video and download Gruff from here:

2. AllegroGraph Version 3.0.1 Now Available!

3. Pre-release of a Jena interface to AllegroGraph

A pre-release of a Jena interface to AllegroGraph 3.0.1 is now
available. Two sample programs in the test package illustrate how the
implementation classes are created. Once these are created, the
application uses Jena calls that are documented elsewhere.
