In this study, the author evaluates four visualization methods (FlexViz, the Jambalaya applet, Experimental jOWL TouchGraph, and Plone ontology) from the pool of currently available web based visualization methods.
Further, this study attempts to answer of the following research questions: 1. What are the requirements for ontology visualization? 2. How is comparative analysis and evaluation carried out? 3. How can a chosen method be tested? Based on the results of the evaluation, the visualization method FlexViz was found to be the most suitable for the given scenario. The deployment of FlexViz was carried out and integrated within Plone CMS and logical parts of the VCD ontology are tested. Finally, FlexViz was analyzed from different stakeholder- perspectives. Results showed that FleViz is a reliable tool for visualizing, understanding and analyzing a developed ontology because of its user-friendly and interactive interface, but performs poorly in regards to the editing, extension and development process.
Iterative Signing of RDF(S) Graphs, Named Graphs, and OWL Graphs: Formalization and Application
(2013)
When publishing graph data on the web such as vocabulariesrnusing RDF(S) or OWL, one has only limited means to verify the authenticity and integrity of the graph data. Today's approaches require a high signature overhead and do not allow for an iterative signing of graph data. This paper presents a formally defined framework for signing arbitrary graph data provided in RDF(S), Named Graphs, or OWL. Our framework supports signing graph data at different levels of granularity: minimum self-contained graphs (MSG), sets of MSGs, and entire graphs. It supports for an iterative signing of graph data, e. g., when different parties provide different parts of a common graph, and allows for signing multiple graphs. Both can be done with a constant, low overhead for the signature graph, even when iteratively signing graph data.
