The Live OWL Documentation Environment: A Tool for the Automatic Generation of Ontology Documentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce LODE, the Live OWL Documentation Environment, an online service that automatically generates a human-readable description of any OWL ontology (or, more generally, an RDF vocabulary), taking into account both ontological axioms and annotations, and ordering these with the appearance and functionality of a W3C Recommendations document. This documentation is presented to the user as an HTML page with embedded links for ease of browsing and navigation. We have tested LODE’s completeness and usability by recording the success of test users in completing tasks of ontology comprehension, and here present the results of that study.

Latest Developments to LODE
LODE, the Live OWL Documentation Environment, is a service for the generation of human-readable documentation of OWL ontologies and RDFS vocabularies. It automatically extracts classes, object properties, data properties, named individuals, annotation properties, meta-modelling (punning), general axioms, SWRL rules and namespace declarations and renders them as an HTML page designed for easy br...

In this demo paper we provide a brief overview of the main features of LODE, the Live OWL Documentation Environment. LODE is an online service that generates a human-readable description of any OWL ontology, taking into account both the ontological axioms and the annotations, and ordering these with the appearance and functionality of a W3C Recommendations web page, namely as an HTML page with ...
متن کاملAutomatic ontology extraction from Java libraries for machine-readable API documentation
While almost all programming languages are equipped with suitable tools for extracting human-readable documentation from software, little effort has been devoted to generating machine-readable information which could be fruitfully exploited by applications for enhancing software development. This paper is focused on ontology-based documentation, a topic which opens up new interesting scenarios ...
متن کاملCurrent practices and perspectives for metadata on web ontologies and rules
The Semantic Web contains a number of knowledge artifacts, including OWL ontologies, RIF rule sets and RDF datasets. Effective exchange and management of these artifacts demands the use of metadata and prompt availability of accurate reference documentation. In this article, we analyze the current practices in metadata usage for OWL ontologies, and we propose a vocabulary for annotating RIF rul...
متن کاملTools for the Automatic Generation of Ontology Documentation: A Task-Based Evaluation
Ontologies are knowledge constructs essential for creation of the Web of Data. Good documentation is required to permit people to understand ontologies and thus employ them correctly, but this is costly to create by tradition authorship methods, and is thus inefficient to create in this way until an ontology has matured into a stable structure. The authors describe three tools, LODE, Parrot and...
