SWOOP: a lightweight ontology editor
Last week I came accross the very nice SWOOP - "A Hypermedia-based Featherweight OWL Ontology Editor" as they say on their site. And I have to say it is very nice. It is much lighter than Protege and does not have all the functionality, but at least it works well. It would be nice if it could read and write N3 files, and not just RDF, as I much prefer to work with that format. You can browser your classes, find out dependencies, merge a number of ontologies, discover the level of your OWL ontology, and many more things I am sure.
Both of those tools are Java clients by the way :-)
Note: Seth Ladd points to some further advantages that I failed to mention.

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
