Re: Tools to produce HTML documentation of RDFS / OWL ontologies

Hi Tim,
I forked OWLDoc and released a CLI version of it:
https://bitbucket.org/kurzum/ontology-browser-fork
https://bitbucket.org/kurzum/ontology-browser-fork/downloads
See the result here:
http://nlp2rdf.lod2.eu/schema/doc/string/index.html

The history of this code is:
1. http://www.co-ode.org/downloads/owldoc/
2. http://code.google.com/p/ontology-browser/
3. https://bitbucket.org/kurzum/ontology-browser-fork

The Ontology Browser is quite good, but not maintained any more.
I really hope, that there will be best practice soon. I had quite some 
trouble setting up the infrastructure and content negotiation. I 
dedicated a small chapter on how I set it up (including the .htaccess 
code) in the LOD2 EU deliverable [1].

I still have many problems with versioning. I think, currently the best 
way to manage ontologies is actually turtle files and a VCS (e.g. 
subversion) and Maven Java Jar files for programatic access.  They 
should be treated the same way as source code. Hence I would be willing 
to help test and improve any owldoc-like solution, which can be used 
like javadoc or phpdoc.
