Software Tools for Ontology Development

Ontology-based multi-site software development methodology and tools

The disadvantages associated with remote communication rather than face-to-face communication is a key problem in the multi-site distributed software development environment. Awareness of what work has been done, what task has been misunderstood, what problems have been raised, what issues have been clarified, and understanding of why a team or a software engineer does not follow the project pl...

Evaluation of ontology development tools for bioinformatics

Ontologies are being used nowadays in many areas, including bioinformatics. To assist users in developing and maintaining ontologies a number of tools have been developed. In this paper we compare four such tools, Protégé-2000, Chimaera, DAG-Edit and OilEd. As test ontologies we have used ontologies from the Gene Ontology Consortium. No system is preferred in all situations, but each system has...

Owl2vcs: Tools for Distributed Ontology Development

The collaborative development of web ontologies is an important topic being actively researched. In this paper, we present a set of tools that facilitate collaborative development of web ontologies using distributed version control systems. The main purpose of these tools is to replace inefficient built-in diff and three-way merge tools, which rely on text representation rather than on ontology...

Software Tools for the Analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the most popular method for imaging of brain functions. Currently, there is a large variety of software packages for the analysis of fMRI data, each providing many features for users. Since there is no single package that can provide all the necessary analyses for the fMRI data, it is helpful to know the features of each software package. ...
