Yes! Emacs! It slices, it dices, it changes the baby and guards the
house! I too tend to live in Emacs and prefer it for writing HTML,
hacking perl, and writing papers (in LaTeX with the great auctex
package) over anything else. However, I do think I prefer working in
Protege or SWOOP for writing ontologies *only* because no great elisp
hacker has yet to come along and write an Emacs Ontology package --
something along the lines of RefTeX for managing large bibliographies
in Emacs. With such a package I could well imagine Emacs being the
most powerful environment for writing and managing ontologies. Do
you know of such a package, Bill? Maybe you are working on one?? (02)
As I recall, someone wrote an OWL mode for Emacs which was a good
start for using Emacs as an OWL editor. (03)
