Supporting Ontology Development with ODEd

Ontologies are becoming an important mechanism to build information systems. However, ontology construction is not a simple task. So, it is necessary to provide tools that support ontology development. This paper presents ODEd, an ontology editor that supports the definition of concepts, relations and properties, using graphic representations, besides promoting automatic inclusion of some classes of axioms and derivation of object infrastructures from ontologies. ODEd was built to support ontology development in ODE, a software engineering environment (SEE), so that ODE can be used as a domain-oriented SEE. Thus, ODEd aims to partially support an ontology-based domain engineering process.
