Grafický editor ontologií

Abstract

This thesis is focused on the use of ontologies for creating graphical models for the visualization of ontological objects. Thesis describes the theory from the perspective of ontology and ontological engineering and more extensively deals with the ontological language OWL. For the purpose of graphical models was created own framework, which processes the selected ontology, reads ontological objects from it and interprets them in the implemented application. Along with the framework was proposed new approach to the interpretation of the information contained in the ontology. This approach is being implemented by creating models of complex ontological objects. The models are assigned user-defined graphics. After something we can say that these grahic elements can form a new perspective on the visualized ontology.
