Abstract
We present OZONE (Zoomable Ontology Navigator), for searching and
browsing ontological information. OZONE visualizes query conditions and
provides interactive, guided browsing for DAML (DARPA Agent Markup
Language) ontologies. To visually represent objects in DAML, we define a
visual model for its classes, properties and relationships between them.
Properties can be expanded into classes for query refinement. The visual
query can be formulated incrementally as users explore class and property
structures interactively. Zoomable interface techniques are employed for
effective navigation and usability.
