Dear Adam,
thank you for providing more alternatives for ontology editing!
I guess we do not necessarily need to go for a single solution but there
should be at least one! :) I mean there might be alternatives and users
might choose their preferred. We mainly thought of checking the stability
of the tools, how good they handle the DBpedia ontology and how easy it is
to maintain them long term.
So far, Web Protege seems to be the best solution as Ismael mentioned. We
will discuss in more details on Thursday though, but VocBench seems
promising too! I'd suggest that you drop an(other) e-mail once VB3 is
released to notify us. Then we can further investigate this alternative too.
Kind regards,
Anastasia
