Project Simile (see http://simile.mit.edu), in conjunction with Project
Haystack (see http://haystack.csail.mit.edu), has created the Hayloft
(see http://simile.mit.edu/hayloft), a repository of components for a
refactored and stripped-down version of the Haystack Semantic Web
Browser. The components in the Hayloft are organized as plug-ins for
Eclipse 3.0. Initially, the Hayloft contains a single component, the
Haystack Core, on top of which other soo-to-be-released components will
rest.

Haystack is a more powerful semantic web browser than Longwell (see
http://simile.mit.edu/longwell), but pays the price of having a much
larger footprint and being much slower. One of the goals of the Hayloft
is to develop and distribute leaner versions of Haystack. See the
Hayloft web page, http://simile.mit.edu/hayloft, for more information.
