Abstract. OntoTrack is a new browsing and editing “in-one-view” on-

tology authoring tool. It combines a sophisticated graphical layout with

mouse enabled editing features optimized for eﬃcient navigation and ma-

nipulation of large ontologies. The system is based on SpaceTree [PGB02]

and implemented in Java2D. OntoTrack provides animated expansion

and de-expansion of class descendants, zooming, paning and uses elab-

orated layout techniques like click-able miniature branches or selective

detail views. At the same time OntoTrack allows for quite a number of

editing features using mouse-over anchor buttons and graphical selec-

tions without switching into a special editing layout. In addition, every

single editing step is synchronized with an external reasoner in order to

provide instant feedback about relevant modeling consequences.

1 Introduction

The availability of adequate tools for end users is a pivotal element in order

to push Semantic Web techniques from academia to commercial environments.

Simple, ﬂexible, and intuitive user interfaces play an important role within this

context. In contrast to current tool evaluations which concentrate mainly on

language speciﬁc issues (e. g. language conformity) and technical criteria (e. g.

turn around ability for interoperability) [AS02] we will focus on adequate visu-

alization, navigation and simple editing of large ontologies in the remainder of

this paper.

Currently, many ontology editors use two functionally disjunct interfaces for

either editing or browsing ontologies. Editing interfaces are commonly based on

vertical expand and contract lists representing the class hierarchy. When select-

ing a particular class in the list one can inspect and manipulate its corresponding

deﬁnition using predeﬁned forms in an additional display area. Our experiences

with expand and contract style interfaces identiﬁed a number of conceptual

drawbacks:

– The number of visible classes is limited by the screen height. Even middle

sized ontologies very likely require scrolling after some level expansions.
