Thanks for your comments, Kingsley, Alfredo.
A live service where you can upload an OWL ontology and get it
visualized with WebVOWL would indeed be very nice - but we are not there
yet. The next step is a new JSON structure that makes it easier to
transform ontologies into the WebVOWL format and to integrate WebVOWL
with other projects. In the meantime, the VOWL plugin for Protégé
(ProtégéVOWL) can be used to visualize and explore arbitrary ontologies:
http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/protegevowl.html (note that it does not
implement the complete VOWL spec and works with Java 1.7 at the moment).

Well that's for Steffen Lohmann and Co. to answer, I simply indicated
(by my reply) that this project has produced a very useful tool :)

Hi all,
we are glad to announce that version 2.0 of the Visual
Notation for OWL Ontologies (VOWL) has been published a
few weeks ago. Along with the specification, we released
a Protégé plugin and a web tool that implement large
parts of VOWL. The works may be of interest to those of
you who would like to visualize (smaller) ontologies in
an intuitive way. They can be tested online at:
http://vowl.visualdataweb.org
We are currently working on an improved JSON structure
and additional functionality for the web tool (WebVOWL)
to allow for an easier transformation of OWL to JSON and
to provide a more compact visualization for larger
ontologies. We are also planning to integrate further
visual elements from the spec into the Protégé plugin
(ProtégéVOWL). VOWL itself will also be advanced in the
future to consider further OWL elements (particularly
from OWL 2) and additional cases.
Note that the focus of VOWL 2 is on the ontology schema
(i.e. the classes, properties and datatypes, sometimes
called TBox), while the focus of VOWL 1 was on the
integrated representation of classes and individuals
(TBox and ABox) - which is, however, still possible with
VOWL 2.
On behalf of the VOWL team,
Steffen
