[Ann] WebVOWL 0.3 - Visualize your ontology on the web

Hi all,

we are glad to announce the release of WebVOWL 0.3, which integrates our 
OWL2VOWL converter now. WebVOWL works in modern web browsers without any 
installation so that ontologies can be instantly visualized. Check it 
out at: http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/webvowl.html

To the best of our knowledge, WebVOWL is the first comprehensive 
ontology visualization completely based on open web standards (HTML, 
SVG, CSS, JavaScript). It implements VOWL 2, which has been designed in 
a user-oriented process and is clearly specified at 
http://vowl.visualdataweb.org (incl. references to scientific papers).

Please note that:
- WebVOWL is a tool for ontology visualization, not for ontology modeling.
- VOWL considers many language constructs of OWL but not all of them yet.
- VOWL focuses on the visualization of the TBox of small to medium-size 
ontologies but does not sufficiently support the visualization of very 
large ontologies and detailed ABox information for the time being.
- WebVOWL 0.3 implements the VOWL 2 specification nearly completely, but 
the current version of the OWL2VOWL converter does not.
These issues are subject to future work.

Have fun with it!

On behalf of the VOWL team,
Steffen
