BioMixer: A Web-based Collaborative Ontology Visualization Tool.
Bo Fu, Lars Grammel, Margaret-Anne D. Storey · 2012
Ontology development often requires the participation of various col-‐ laborators. Web-‐based ontology editors, such as WebProtégé, have been developed to provide users with collaborative support such as comments and discussions. There is a large body of work concerning ontology visualization techniques; however, less research attention has been placed on providing the necessary support for collaborative on-‐ tology visualization. To explore this research gap, the web-‐based col-‐ laborative ontology visualization tool BioMixer is presented in this paper. In order to assist the collaborative visualization process, Bio-‐ Mixer provides users with sharable workspaces and embeddable visu-‐ alizations that can be seamlessly inserted into external websites. 1
