Abstract

After the evolution of semantic web technologies, ontology’s play the key role in Knowledge representation, Knowledge Management, and information retrieval. Ontology can be defined as the grammar that can be interpreted by the machine. In short, it is defined as concept or term, which is used to represent the Knowledge. The aim of this paper is to give the comparative study of different ontology building and management tool (Protégé 4.3, Swoop, Apollo, and IsaViz) which are open source. In this paper, we will compare the mentioned tools in context of Cross-Platform Integration, Easy to update and manage, Tolerance, etc. As we are talking about World Wide Web, the diversity plays the major role as this tool can be used by the different groups of people. The mentioned tools cannot interchange the ontology’s. This research also identifies the common feature between each tool and each tool has its own significance importance, so based on that this paper will represent the comparative study of different tools.
