XSLT for translating OWL ontologies in RDF/XML format (specifically from OWL API/Protege) to a simplistic HTML, with a hyperlink to documentation.html. To use, modify the XML headers of the OWL file as in the example.xml below.

TODO:

  • Auto-generate link to http://www.essepuntato.it/lode/ - by javascript window.location ?
  • Include classes
  • Show ontology comment and description
  • Select documentation link(s) from annotation property (rdfs:seeAlso ? dcterms:hasFormat ? )
