SVG-OWL Viewer

SVG-OWL Viewer Version 3.0

The SVG-OWL Viewer is a Java Application used to display OWL Ontologies using the 
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Format. The idea is to use the dynamic interactive nature 
of SVG to display ontologies so as to help understand their structure and inherent 
relationships better.

In order to use the application, load an ontology (.owl file) by specifying its path, 
parse it to obtain its structure, select the classes/properties/relationships you desire 
to view by checking the appropriate boxes, and click on the 'Generate SVG' button to 
obtain the final graph. (see screenshot below)



Note: A Venn diagram approach is used to display the ontology. (see screenshot below)

 

Demo: Launch the Online Demo here (requires Java WebStart to be installed on your machine). Here is a link to a sample ontology you could test the application with.

Download: The source/binaries are available in the following zip file
