Second Release of ontology editor - Fleunt Editor

Dear all,

 

We are pleased to announce a second release of Fluent Editor 2014 - a
comprehensive tool for editing and manipulating complex ontologies.

What's new in this release:

..         Embedded SPARQL engine

..         Materialized Graph insight

..         OWL2-RL validation

..         OWL Annotations and SKOS

..         Protégé interoperability

..         R language package

..         R language plugins

..         Collaborative ontology management with Ontorion

..         Custom Reasoners

..         Performance improvements

 

Embedded SPARQL engine

You can explore your ontologies with SPARQL instantly with an embedded
SPARQL engine. With one click your edited ontology will be materialized
(using selected reasoner) and available for SPARQL queries.

 

Materialized Graph insight

Now your ontology can be also materialized and explored with OCNL (simple
natural language queries). This allows to have a quick insight into
instances and their relations in your ontology

 

OWL2-RL validation

The OWL 2 RL profile was introduced for applications that require scalable
reasoning without sacrificing too much expressive power. Fluent Editor will
help you to quickly validate your ontology for compatibility with this
profile. If an unconformity has been found it will assist you showing the
exact reason.

 

OWL Annotations and SKOS

SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) is a standardized way of
represent controlled vocabularies, taxonomies and thesauri. Specifically,
SKOS itself is an OWL ontology and it can be written out in any RDF syntax.
Fluent Editor allows now to work and edit directly OWL annotations and SKOS.
Annotations will processed also for referenced ontologies as well as
imported/exported to OWL/RDF and can be processed on the server.

 

Protégé interoperability

Protégé is a great tool for editing ontologies allowing deep insight into
the structure of the OWL ontology. Fluent Editor allows user to focus on
actual meaning of the ontology (taxonomy, vocabulary, rule set, etc) being
edited.

Those two tools can nicely collaborate. Now you can instantly synchronize
view of the ontology between different windows of Fluent Editor and Protégé
in one place. Just install the required plugin and the rest will be done
with just one click - no matter which tool you are working with now.

 

R language package

R language (http://www.r-project.org/) is widely used tool for statistical
analysis. Combining ontologies and statistics opens an efficient way for
quantitative-qualitative analysis of data. Now you can use both approaches
conveniently in a single place by using an R language package to access
ontologies (rOntorion). rOntorion R package allows direct access to
ontologies created with Fluent Editor and opens them for semantic processing
in R environment.

 

R language plugins

You can not only develop analytical models with R and rOntorion but also
build plugins for Fluent Editor with R language! It's easy and
straightforward. Plugins have direct access to the ontology within editor
host and can use any available R package. Plugins can display graphical
results or textual output directly in Fluent Editor.

 

Collaborative ontology management with Ontorion

With this release Fluent Editor can be used as a full-featured tool to edit
and manage ontologies with an Ontorion Server database. You get all in one
place: OWL/SWRL modularized editing, XML preview, annotations, remote
taxonomy tree, remote SPARQL endpoint and server status. Multiple users can
work with A-Box and T-Box on the server in a collaborative way. More
information on this mode is provided with Ontorion server materials. 

 

Custom Reasoners

Any OWLAPI compatible reasoner can be easily plugged into the Editor at
runtime. 

 

Performance improvements

Several performance improvements has been introduced in this release to make
it even more convenient working with large ontologies. 

 

Your feedback is more than welcome.

 

Best regards,
