SWOOP Description

A free hypermedia-based Web Ontology Browser and Editor SWOOP is a free and easy to use tool for creating, editing, and debugging OWL ontologies. SWOOP was produced by the MIND lab at University of Maryland, College Park, but is now an open source project with contributers from all over. Here are some key features of "SWOOP": Web Browser like look & feel: · An address bar where the URI of the ontology (or class/property/individual) can be entered directly for loading; hyperlink based navigation across ontological entities (address bar URL changes accordingly); history buttons (Back, Next etc) for traversal; and bookmarks that can be saved for later reference Inline Editing: · All ontology editing in SWOOP is done inline with the HTML renderer, using different color codes and font styles to emphasize ontology changes, eg. different representations for added axioms vs. deleted axioms vs. inferred axioms. Undo/redo options are provided with an ontology change log and a rollback option. Designed for OWL Rec: Species validation: · Uses Manchester OWL API Presentation syntax tabs: · Concise Format View · Abstract Syntax (from OWL API) · RDF/XML (from BBN HyperDAML) · Turtle/N3 · (plug-in architecture for new tabs) Multiple Ontology Support: · Browsing, Mapping, Comparison Advanced Features: · Run "sound and complete" conjunctive ABox queries (written in RDQL) on an ontology using Pellet · Partition Ontologies automatically by transforming them into an E-connection · Debug mode: By exposing the internal workflow of a Description Logic Tableaux reasoner (Pellet) in a meaningful and readable manner, explanations are provided to help users understand the cause for (and remove) inconsistencies detected in ontologies. · Collaborative Annotation Support: An Annotea plugin in SWOOP allows users to write and share annotations on any ontological entity (class/ property/ individual). Additionally, ontology change sets can be attached to the annotation messages for sharing.
