More Details

OWLViz is designed to be used with the Protege OWL plugin. It enables the class hierarchies in an OWL Ontology to be viewed and incrementally navigated, allowing comparison of the asserted class hierarchy and the inferred class hierarchy. OWLViz integrates with the Protege-OWL plugin, using the same colour scheme so that primitive and defined classes can be distinguished, computed changes to the class hierarchy may be clearly seen, and inconsistent concepts are highlighted in red. OWLViz has the facility to save both the asserted and inferred views of the class hierarchy to various concrete graphics formats including png, jpeg and svg.

Installation

You need a recent version of the GraphViz tools, which are available here

Please read the OWLVizGuide for installation instructions.
