Abstract

This article gives an impression of how existing RDFS based Semantic Web knowledge Web services can already now be integrated in the creation process of semantic nets in MS Visio with SemTalk. We present two examples: looking up object names in WordNet and using Ontobroker as an inference engine on ECCMA ontologies. This article shows how different 2D visualization techniques such as DAMLVisio or simple Visio shapes can be applied to Semantic Web models in order to address a broad range of users with very different expectations of the notation.
