What it is for

OWL 2 ontology (classes, hierarchy, restrictions and axioms in the VOWL vocabulary, asserted-only; an RDF reading over the `w3c/rdf` engine) · `owl-diagram` (specification removed from the tree; in history before `53f68611`)

Why a specialized view helps

OWL axioms are dense in Turtle or RDF/XML; the VOWL notation shows classes, properties and restrictions so an ontology can be checked by eye.

Screenshots

PROV-O's classes as VOWL circles with property edges between them, fitted and then **zoomed in twice** so the labels read, so the rim of the drawing is cut off. Toolbox showing Class, Object property, Datatype property and Individual. Nothing selected.

What is visible: PROV-O's classes as VOWL circles with property edges between them, fitted and then **zoomed in twice** so the labels read, so the rim of the drawing is cut off. Toolbox showing Class, Object property, Datatype property and Individual. Nothing selected.

Why it matters: The ontology's classes and properties appear in the VOWL notation, which makes the structure of an OWL ontology readable by eye, where its Turtle or RDF/XML source is not.
