Roadmapping and Navigating in the Ontology Visualization Landscape

Proper visualization is essential for ontology development, sharing and usage; various use cases however pose specific requirements on visualization features. We analyzed several visualization tools from the perspective of use case categories as well as low-level functional features and OWL expressiveness. A rule-based recommender was subsequently developed to help the user choose a suitable visualizer. Both the analysis results and the recommender were evaluated via a questionnaire.
