Ontology Visualization Tools: A Bibliographic Review and a Proposal

Authors: Ezra Gomes Marques, Cristiana Araújo, and Pedro Rangel Henriques

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 120, 13th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2024)

Abstract

Information can be graphically presented to users through different visualization methods, which can be complemented by various features meant to facilitate the navigation and interpretation of the presented information. Many of these methods and features are already in use by current ontology visualization tools, while others, along with some concepts from the broader field of information visualization, are merely explored in the literature despite their potential to also be applied in this specific field. This paper aims to analyze key characteristics of the current state of the art of ontology visualization tools, as well as the notable benefits and limitations of each of them, by extensively reviewing this body of work. Additionally, it also aims to demonstrate how the resulting insight has aided the development of PrOnto, a new platform dedicated to the visualization of OntoDL+ ontologies.
