The purpose of the work is to present a study on application of these six methods in the development of different kinds of Comprehensive visualization Ontology tools and categorize their characteristics so t h a t it assists in method selection and promotes further future research in the area of ontology visualization. This paper overviews different technology for ontology visualization. It is an a t t e m p t t o summarize existing literature related to ontology visualization and provide comprehensive cataloguing of existing method characteristics as well as record t h e i r strong points and weaknesses in relation with user tasks.
