Towards Diagram-Based Editing of Ontologies

Chapman, Peter; Roberts, William

Abstract

Ontology creation and editing involves multiple stakeholders, not all of whom may be mathematically trained. Whilst ontology editors, such as Protege, are extensible with visualisation tools to enhance understanding of the ontology, these tools are static representations only. We present initial work on creating editable visualisations for a fragment of OWL, which will in turn update the underlying ontology. The diagrams used are linear diagrams, which have previously been shown to aid comprehension of set-based data. In particular, we focus only on those OWL statements which do not include properties or datatypes.
