Pat,
I would like to get a copy of your new COE version when it is ready.
There are some people I work with who like the look of concept maps,
and I would like to have translators in and out to other formats. (01)
Thanks
Pat (02)

You are welcome to use COE, a tool we have
developed which allows RDF/OWL to be viewed and
edited as a 'concept map', i.e. a labelled graph
on the screen. This is a very intuitive
easy-to-use interface (takes between an hour and
a day to learn) but is very mouse-oriented so can
be somewhat slow when dealing with large
ontologies. It has the merit of protecting its
user from ever needing to look at XML, which IMO
is what heaven intended. It does not do any
inferencing, however, and requires you to 'buy
into' a concept-mapping view of things. Also it
is beta, and may have a few buglets in it. (05)
My honest advice would be to use Protege as the
editor for your course, as it is more stable and
has a large user base, but use COE as an ontology
*viewer*. It gives one a unique graphical picture
of the overall 'shape' of an OWL/RDF ontology. (06)
There is an old version at
http://cmap.ihmc.us/coe/ which will give you an
idea of the interface.(Slideshow at
www.ihmc.us:16080/users/phayes/Pub/COE-KCAP.ppt )
However I do not recommend this version for
serious use. We are working on a new COE build,
so if you are interested let me know and I will
send you a new version in a couple of weeks. This
will have the ability to display and edit large
amounts of ground facts as a table rather than a
graph, which speeds things up considerably. (07)
