The fine people from Jim Hendler’s
Mindswap group
at the University of Maryland College Park, just
announced
version 2.2 of their
SWOOP Web Ontology Editor written in Java with a Swing GUI.
I’ve been trying it from subversion occasionally and it’s come a long
way and now works well as a RDF schema and OWL Ontology editor for
the regular person. I’ve recommended it to several people as the one to
get started with.
For me, it’s also handy for analysing exactly what features of
OWL are used in RDF schemas/OWL ontologies and what puts them
in OWL-DL or other OWL species.
Plus it’s less scary than other ontology editing solutions…
Also it has
Turtle support,
so I gotta love it for that!
