Hi folks, It is my pleasure to announce (the start of) a new, consolidated, web site at the University of Manchester for all things OWL and wonderful: http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/ We intend to host all sorts of yummy information and helpful services. At the moment, there are three new services you might enjoy: 1) An ontology repository: http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/repository/ We're still developing it, but you can already sort and search by such things as ontology size and expressivity. 2) An OWL Syntax Converter: http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/converter/ This is based on the OWL API and will convert to and from a wide wide range of OWL Syntaxes. 3) A web based OWL Browser: http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/browser/ Providing several different ways to navigate through an ontology. These services are under development and we welcome feedback. Good feedback. Good, high quality feedback. Absent that, fulsome praise will do. We try to make things nice and RESTful so it is easy to bookmark or otherwise get at stuff. We expect to add in the relatively near future: A modularity service (hooked into the repository) Some explanation stuff A FaCT++ service And more! Your ideas welcome. Unless they aren't any good ;) If there's some software we have that you find a bit intimidating to download and install but would make a nice web based service, please let us know! Cheers, Bijan. P.S. Thanks to Thomas Schneider for pulling this together. Matthew Horridge built the repository and the syntax converter. Nick Drummond built the browser. Uli was very wise and I nagged a lot. Ok, Uli nagged a lot too, but my nagging is so much more irritating that it got better results :)
