And TopQuadrant has recently made available a free version of the TopBraid
Composer Tool - see: (01)
http://www.topquadrant.com/products/TB_free_install.php (02)
I haven't used it yet so I don't know what built-in limits it has. (03)
Another useful tool is Altova's SemanticWorks. I did some experimentation of
saving OWL files created with Protégé, reading them into SemanticWorks, saving
without making any changes, re-opening in Protégé. The round-trips produced
syntactically different OWL files, so needless to say each tool has it's own
flavor of saving the OWL files. (04)

The majority of TC 184 SC4 Industrial Data and the OASIS PLCS TC use Protege
for the relatively small OWL ontologies we work. We do however save as the
unabbreviated RDF syntax so we can write XSLT against the OWL files. (07)
We also do use UML/ODM to create diagrams that have OWL and our EXPRESS
modeling language constructs on the same diagram. Those are informative
diagrams though and only contain Class and subClassOf relationships. (08)
Cheers,
David (09)
