Hi all,we are glad to announce the release of WebVOWL 0.3, which integrates our OWL2VOWL converter now. WebVOWL works in modern web browsers without any installation so that ontologies can be instantly visualized. Check it out at: http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/webvowl.htmlTo the best of our knowledge, WebVOWL is the first comprehensive ontology visualization completely based on open web standards (HTML, SVG, CSS, JavaScript). It implements VOWL 2, which has been designed in a user-oriented process and is clearly specified at http://vowl.visualdataweb.org (incl. references to scientific papers).Please note that:- WebVOWL is a tool for ontology visualization, not for ontology modeling.- VOWL considers many language constructs of OWL but not all of them yet.- VOWL focuses on the visualization of the TBox of small to medium-size ontologies but does not sufficiently support the visualization of very large ontologies and detailed ABox information for the time being. - WebVOWL 0.3 implements the VOWL 2 specification nearly completely, but the current version of the OWL2VOWL converter does not.These issues are subject to future work. Have fun with it! On behalf of the VOWL team, Steffen
Great job! Clearly "when it rains, it pours!"Lot's of great Linked Data visualizations are now popping up everywhere, just what we all needed.
Question:Would you be able to make HTTP URIs that identify terms defined by a selected ontology live? For instance, if I am exploring FOAF, and I click on the foaf:Agent node, I should have an HTTP URI anchoring the text "Agent [FOAF]" which then makes that node a live LOD Cloud conduit. I notice you provide this capability via "selection details", but I don't think most will realize its existence.
In addition to the suggestion above, do you have a permalink feature that makes any visualization doc shareable via HTTP URLs ?
Finally, what about connecting your "custom ontology" feature to prefix.cc [1] and LOV [2] ?
