View source for KAON2 OWL Tools V0.23

{{pubdate|21|October|2005}}
A few days ago I packaged the new release of the [[owl tools|KAON2 OWL tools]]. And they moved from their old URL (which was pretty obscure: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/WBS/dvr/owltools ) to their new home on OntoWare: [http://owltools.ontoware.org owltools.ontoware.org]. Much nicer.

The OWL tools are a growing number of little tools that help people working with OWL. Besides the already existing tools, like ''count'', ''filter'' or ''merge'', partly enhanced, some new entered the scene: ''populate'', that just populates an ontology randomly with instances (which may be used for testing later on) and ''screech'', that creates a split program out of an ontology (you can find more information on [http://logic.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/screech OWL Screech' own website]).

A very special little thing is the first beta implementation of ''shell''. This will become a nice OWL shell that will allow to explore and edit OWL files. No, this is not meant as a competitor to full-fledged integrated ontology development environments like [http://www.ontoprise.de/content/e3/e43/index_eng.html OntoStudio], [http://protege.stanford.edu/ Protégé] or [http://www.mindswap.org/2004/SWOOP/ SWOOP], it's rather an alternative approach. And it's just started. I hope to have autocompletion implemented pretty soon, and some more commands. If anyone wants to join, give me a mail.
