Re: Basic OWL editor/viewer?

In my honest opinion, a text editor like sublime or XML editor like Oxygen
plus sticking to the basics - defining only Classes, Properties with a
range or two to related them, plus using the online validation tools
available is a good way to get started on a new ontology.

As your ontology grows beyond the bare minimums,
http://protege.stanford.edu/ will become more appealing - if you are
editing someone else's super ontology, start there.

Alternatively, if you stick to the text editor approach, you can move away
from RDF/XML as a basis, for something like Turtle. Turtle will allow you
to concisely express statements in a way that is "human language" enough.
