Purpose and Functionality

Software tool for semiautomatic ontology generation from text. Current version supports building taxonomies, future versions will support building ontologies with multiple relationships.

Availability, Preconditions and Licensing

Installation package is publicly available in binaries at ontogen.ijs.si

The software runs under Windows platform .NET framework 2.0.

The tool is free for research purposes.

Integration with other SEKT Tools

Developed on the top of Text-Garden tool and integrated with Text Garden, development so far inside the SEKT project.

OntoGen is standalone tool but also integrated into OntoStudio [1].
