YOWL: Yet another OWL documentor
YOWL is a command line utility that can read a number of RDFS/OWL files, called the repository, and generate a documentation website from it, with visualisations like Class Diagrams (as SVG), Individuals Diagrams and Import Diagrams.
It also detects annotations from the following public ontologies:
- Dublin Core
- Term-centric Semantic Web Vocabulary Annotations
- VANN
- SKOS
- FOAF
This is a fork of the original DOWL project at https://github.com/ldodds/dowl.
INSTALLATION
Install WGET, GraphViz, libraptor1:
OS X
You can do this using macports or homebrew.
Macports:
$ sudo port install wget graphvizHomebrew:
$ sudo brew install wget graphvizUnfortunately, there is no clean way (as far as we know) to install libraptor1 via a package manager on OS X. Therefore we wrote a small shell script, install-raptor.sh to do it for you.
$ sudo curl -k https://raw.github.com/modelfabric/yowl/master/install-raptor.sh | bashUbuntu
$ sudo apt-get install wget graphviz libraptor1-dev rubygemsAmazon Linux
$ sudo yum -y install graphviz libraptor1-dev rubygems ruby-devel ffi-devel make gccAnd then install Raptor 1.4.21 (which is required by rdf-raptor) like this:
$ sudo yum -y install http://download.librdf.org/binaries/redhat/fc12/raptor-1.4.21-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
$ sudo yum -y install http://download.librdf.org/binaries/redhat/fc12/raptor-devel-1.4.21-1.fc12.x86_64.rpmInstall via RubyGems
