RE: Catalog software to maintain/display OWL vocabularies...

Richard, Ken Sall and Judy Newton compiled an XML schema and stylesheet
based on SKOS: http://xml.gov/stratml/draft/StratMLGlossary.xsd &
http://xml.gov/stratml/draft/StratMLGlossary.xsl 

I use an InfoPath form to maintain the StratML glossary in conformance with
that schema and stylesheet:
http://xml.gov/stratml/draft/StratMLGlossary.xml

However, any XML-enabled E-form or authoring/editing application could be
used to create instance documents applying that schema.

+1 to Ed Summers' comment in a separate message with respect to the
potential of a "lightweight web-centric approach."

A SKOS editor in Neologism would be interesting, but I don't see it  
happening in the near future -- our priority is to make Neologism a  
really great RDF Schema editor, and that still requires some work.

I agree that a simple web based SKOS editor would be great to have  
around. I liked the commercial PoolParty [1] after seeing a demo, but  
there should also be a free alternative that can be used in quick  
pilots/prototypes.

Best,
Richard
