Visualization in Ontology Tools
Monika Lanzenberger, Jennifer Sampson, Markus Rester · 2009
With a literature study we found an enormous number of ontology visualization tools. Many of them apply graph visualization but there are other approaches as well. We have identified interesting solutions for dealing with the complexity of large ontologies. Ontology engineering, ontology mapping and alignment can benefit from Information Visualization. Our collection is a starting point to demonstrate the usefulness of Information Visualization techniques, however, a detailed evaluation would be the next step to consolidate this research area and help to boost the adoption of ontologies in common Web applications.
