Re: [SE] Ontology Tools in the Primer Note

I am obviously in agreement with Mike's position and was hoping to discuss
personally with Holger while in Galway. If we do not have the good fortune
to meet this week, I will pick up this action and contact Holger directly,
once back at work next week.

There was a discussion at the F2F about possible implicit endorsement of
specific ontology tools, such as protégé and semanticworks.

One solution suggested was to include screenshots of all and only open
source tools that get reasonable use (I.e. Protégé and Swoop). Commercial
tools can be mentioned with references.

It occurs to me that this whole issse is very much a side issue for this
note. It is not a note about ontology tools, so it is not important to try
and give any comprehensive coverage of the area. Mention of a few tools is
sufficient to make the intended point that there are analogous tools to the
UML building tools.
