Abstract :
This paper presents the design and implementation of a software application for ontology visualization. The tool is called Onto3DViz, and it supports visualization of both static and dynamic knowledge models that have been developed based on the Inferential Modeling Technique. By employing 3D computer graphics, Onto3DViz presents a solution for organizing and manipulating complex and related domain concepts and relationships among concepts in a 3D model. This tool is applied for visualization of a knowledge model in the petroleum contamination remediation selection domain.
