OntoXpl: Exploration of OWL Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the OWL ontology explorer OntoXpl. It is available as a web server based on the tomcat architecture. Standard HTML browsers can be used to interact with OntoXpl. At least three potential user groups are targeted by OntoXpl’s design: (i) users with a limited background of ontologies and OWL; (ii) ontology developers that are OWL experts; (iii) users interested in understanding and reusing existing ontologies. OntoXpl is intended to complement existing ontology editors and does not offer any editing support. The current implementation of OntoXpl is based on the OWL DL reasoner Racer and uses Racer’s extensive query interface in order to support the exploration of OWL ontologies.

OWLGrEd: a UML Style Graphical Editor for OWL
There have been many attempts to visualize OWL ontologies but none of them is considered completely satisfactory and this is still an open problem. We propose a UML style graphical editor for OWL which not only visualizes ontologies using extended UML class diagram notation but also provides ontology editing facilities unavailable in most of the other tools. Moreover, the editor contains additi...
متن کاملRacer: An OWL Reasoning Agent for the Semantic Web
Racer, which can be considered as a core reasoning agent for the semantic web, is briefly described. Racer currently supports a wide range of inference services about ontologies specified in the Ontology Web Language (OWL). These services are made available to other agents via network based APIs. Racer is currently used by various clients such as ontology editors, ontology development and visua...
متن کاملA Protégé Plugin for Querying and Reasoning on Persistent OWL Ontologies
The OWL language [1] is being widely used to define ontologies in the Web. This language provides three increasingly expressive sublanguages, namely OWL Lite, OWL-DL and OWL Full. The OWL-DL XML based syntax together with its correspondence with Description Logics (DL) [2], make it a good candidate to be the standard language for defining ontologies used by Semantic Web applications. However, t...
متن کاملUsing C-OWL for the alignment and merging of medical ontologies
A number of sophisticated medical ontologies have been created over the past years. With their development the need for supporting the alignment of different ontologies is gaining importance. We proposed C-OWL, an extension of the Web Ontology Language OWL that supports alignment mappings between different, possibly incompatible ontologies on a semantic level. In this paper we report experience...
متن کاملOWL 2 learn profile: an ontology sublanguage for the learning domain
Many experimental ontologies have been developed for the learning domain for use at different institutions. These ontologies include different OWL/OWL 2 (Web Ontology Language) constructors. However, it is not clear which OWL 2 constructors are the most appropriate ones for designing ontologies for the learning domain. It is possible that the constructors used in these learning domain ontologie...
