You should also take a look at OilEd [1] which supports DAML/OWL and includes and integrated reasoner which can compute the class hierarchy and check for inconsistencies. This has, e.g., been used to detect errors in the OWL Guide (wines) ontology. IMHO, building anything other than toy ontologies without such support amounts to recklessness.
