Motivation

SMORE is designed to enable users to markup HTML documents in OWL using Web Ontologies. Primary goals include:

• To allow the user to markup web documents with limited knowledge of OWL terms and syntax.
• To provide a way to use Classes, Properties, and Individuals from existing ontologies, do limited ontology editing, or even create a new ontology from scratch using terms from web documents.
  
• To provide the a flexible environment to create simple web page simultaneously with markup.

Features

• OWL-Centered: While previous versions of SMORE were RDF-based tools, the new SMORE is designed for the easy creation of OWL ontologies from web page information. SMORE can import multiple existing ontologies into the created ontology.
• Simple Creation of OWL Entities: Just select text from any loaded web site or document, and click the corresponding toolbar button to create OWL Classes, Properties and Individuals. SMORE also allows Drag-and-Drop and menu-based interaction.
• Triple-Based OWL Editing: For users familiar with creating RDF-style triples, the new SMORE preserves the ability to work with OWL entities and data values in a triple format.
• Smart Individual Editor: The Individual Editor uses Domain and Range restrictions to present a list of eligible targets for all object property links from an Individual. For datatype properties, SMORE provides an appropriate editor for each built-in datatype. This makes entering valid data simple, and eliminates datatype crashes.
• Familiar SWOOP Browser: SMORE integrates the SWOOP ontology browser, providing a clear and consistent way to find and view Classes and Properties, complete with search functionality. Click here for more information about SWOOP.
• Error Highlighting and Prevention: SMORE identifies and highlights invalid triples in the triple table, preventing the underlying ontology from becoming invalid, and helping the user correct errors.
• Built-In HTML Editor: SMORE incorporates the Ekit HTML editor, allowing the user to perform basic editing of HTML documents as they are being marked up.
