Ontology plays a key role in the web information share and exchange at semantic level.With the development of ontology,the need of application of Chinese ontology is increasing.Talking about the first step of ontology engineering-ontology construction,now many web ontology editing prototypes,tools or environments appear,for instance: Protege-2000,WebODE,OilEd,OntoEdit,KAON,etc.However,there is no an effective tool with integrated functions.This paper introduces and compares existing ontology construction tools,and evaluates the capability of Protege on Chinese ontology construction.The problems of Chinese ontology visualization met during the process of Chinese ontology construction are investigated deeply,and available solutions are given.Based on that,it discusses the present problems and future research directions in this field.
