OntoTrack A New Ontology Authoring Approach

The following provides a short description of OntoTracks main features. In concrete, OntoTrack Provides a sophisticated graph-based ontology layout with animated expansion and de-expansion of class descendants, zooming, and paning. Uses elaborated layout techniques like click-able miniature branches or selective detail views. Allows for editing features like mouse-over anchor buttons, graphical selections or restriction editing without switching into a special editing layout. Synchronizes every single editing step with an external reasoner in order to provide instant feedback about relevant modeling consequences. Implements instant search highlighting or an overlay representation of classes and properties.
