WebProtégé

WebProtégé is a web-based collaborative ontology editor. It is an extension of the popular Protégé ontology editor, developed by the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research. WebProtégé allows multiple users to work on the same ontology simultaneously from different locations, facilitating distributed ontology development and maintenance.

The platform supports various ontology languages, including OWL (Web Ontology Language) and RDF Schema. It provides a user-friendly interface for creating, editing, and managing ontologies. Key features include a graphical ontology editor, a form-based editor, and a collaborative workspace. Users can contribute to ontologies by adding classes, properties, individuals, and annotations.

WebProtégé emphasizes collaborative features such as version control, change tracking, and discussion forums. This enables teams to manage complex ontology projects efficiently. It also supports ontology alignment and merging functionalities. The system is designed to be extensible, with plugins available to enhance its capabilities.

The tool is widely used in various domains, including bioinformatics, medicine, and the semantic web. Its open-source nature and web-based accessibility make it a popular choice for researchers and developers working with ontologies. WebProtégé is actively maintained and developed, with regular updates and new features being introduced.
