As >far as I know, this is true for all other >RDF/OWL browsers currently available. We have a free tool called COE which can display any OWL ontology graphically and has no trouble with class hierarchies. It also supports editing and composing ontologies in the graphical interface. You can get it from http://cmap.ihmc.us/coe/. I suggest reading the manual first. Can you give full URIs for those SWAN ontologies? If I can get them I will post a couple of images showing what they look like in COE. >This is the main reason why I would like to avoid extensive use of classes That seems like a very bad reason, frankly. OWL without classes isn't much more than RDF. Its not a question of being purist, but whether or not your ontologies will do anything when you give them to a reasoner.
