Choosing the right editor for our project can become a daunting task
since many choices exist and an appropriate tool selection depends on the level of
user experience, the languages supported, the architecture, and the scalability.
Examples of popular editors include OilEd, OntoEdit (n.d.), WebODE, and Prot?©g?©
(n.d.). OntoEdit is an ontology engineering environment supporting the development
and maintenance of ontologies using graphical means. The editor supports
representations of F-Logic, RDF Schema, and OIL. OilEd (Bechhofer, Horrocks,
Goble, & Stevens, 2001) is an ontology editor allowing the user to build ontologies
using DAML+OIL. Unfortunately, the current version of OilEd does not provide
a full ontology development environment. It does not support the development of
large-scale ontologies, versioning, argumentation, and many other activities that are
involved in ontology construction. WebODE (Arp?rez, Corcho, Fern??ndez-L??pez, &
G??mez-P?©rez, 2003) is a scalable workbench for ontological engineering that provides
services for editing, browsing, importing, and exporting ontologies to classical
and Semantic Web languages.
