Tired with having to produce loads of static HTML using OWLDoc and then having to upload it to your server?

The ontology browser allows you to navigate around your ontologies in the same familiar environment, but produces the pages dynamically and is available for direct use with a web front-end.

• Try it here by loading one of your own online ontologies or
• Browse the pizza ontology or
• add a link on your own pages to your ontology:

Documentation

• Getting started with the ontology browser
• Release Notes
• Instructions for installing the browser on your own server (or locally).

Features

• All pages navigable by links
• Fully indexed ontologies, split down by module and entity type

Level of Support

As with most new software, things are changing rapidly, so we do not have the resources to actively support the server.
