Tool Support for Ontology Engineering

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) has been developed and standardised by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). It is one of the key technologies underpinning the Semantic Web, but its success has now spread far beyond the Web: it has become the ontology language of choice for a wide range of application domains. One of the key benefits flowing from OWL standardisation has been the development of a huge range of tools and infrastructure that can be used to support the development and deployment of OWL ontologies. These tools are now being used in large scale and commercial ontology development, and are widely recognised as being not simply useful, but essential for the development of the high quality ontologies needed in realistic applications.
