TopIn this section we present some works related to the ontology authoring or the ontology engineering research field.
Kaljurand (2007) proposed bidirectional mapping from Attempto Controlled natural English language (ACE) to OWL ontologies. Kaljurand (2008) developed a tool, called ACEView editor, for editing and viewing OWL/SWRL ontology. The tool is used as plugin in Protégé, in order to enrich its interface based on ACE CNL. The ACEView allows users to interact with the ontology using Attempto Controlled English (ACE) questions. This interaction is done by mapping ACE text into OWL/SWRL and vice versa.
Kuhn (2008) presented a semantic Wiki, called AceWiki, for representing knowledge, and he used ACE to allow ordinary users extending the content of Wiki. Kuhn (2013a) presented an extended work that allows transforming the content of AceWiki into OWL by using the ACE predictive editor notation grammar (codeco). Kuhn (2013b) gave an extension of AceWiki, known as AcEWiki-GF, to support multilingual by adding Grammatical Framework (GF). Therefore, it gives users all advantages of AceWiki.
Dimitrova, Denaux, Hart, Dolbear, Holt et al. (2008) developed a tool, called Rabbit to OWL ontology (ROO), for ontology editing. They intended to cover all the ontology engineering process. This tool required the domain expert for ontology authoring, especially in the first stage of the process, and in the conception stage.
