Working with ontologies isn't yet as easy as it could be - especially because the number of little helpers is still far too small. After having written [[dlpconvert]] and [[owlrdf2owlxml]] (the tool with the maybe most clumsy name in the history of the Semantic Web) I noticed how easy it would be to write some more tools based on [[Boris Motik|Boris']] [[KAON2]] OWL ontology infrastructure.

And so I went ahead. First I integrated dlpconvert and owlrdf2owlxml (or short, r2x) in it, then I added a simple ontology dumper and axiom and entity counter. Want to know how many individuals are in your ontology? Simply type ''owl count myontology.owl -individual'', and there you go. Want a list of all Classes? Try ''owl print myontology.owl -owlclass''. It's as easy as that.

I'm totally aware that this functionality maybe isn't worth the effort of building a tool for. But this is just a beginning: I want to add more functionality to filter, merge, compare and much more to it. The point is, at the end having a handy little set of OWL tools you can work with. I miss that really with OWL, and now here it is. At least, a beginning.
