Re: Best open-source ontology/vocabulary visualization tool?

Hi

SKOS Play [1] has an option to convert an OWL/RDFS class hierarchy into a
SKOS tree and generate from it different visualisations (using d3js), HTML
or PDF rendering. It's not perfect, and far from what a complete OWL
visualisation tool can do, but if you only need to view the class
hierarchy, it will definitely help. It can help also on the terminological
level by producing permuted indexes of the labels, or autocompleted input
fields. Read more at [2], and see visualisation exemples at [3]
