Fluent Editor

The OWL(Ontology Web Language or Web Ontology Language) programming language is used as a knowledge representation for the semantic web, as it allows one to write explicit, formal conceptualizations of human activities.

Fluent Editor is a nifty piece of software that can help you better understand ontologies, as it allows you to edit and manipulate even the most complex ontologies, using the Controlled Natural Language.

The application uses Controlled English as a knowledge modeling language, thus making it more suitable for users, as opposed to the XML-based OWL editors. Using the predictive editor, the program can assist you during sentence writing, by stopping you from from entering any sentence that is grammatically or morphologically incorrect.

This means that the program only accepts grammatically or morphologically correct sentences, thus reducing the number of human errors. The program can guide you throughout the creation of each sentence, by showing you some words that might complete your sentence.

Fluent Editor can help you construct your ontologies from scratch, whilst maintaining correctitude, both grammatical and morphological. This means that your source code will be correctly build, although some logical mistakes might sneak in, as these are less likely to be detected, even if they are correctly generated.

The program is seamlessly easy to use, even by inexperienced users that have no knowledge of ontologies, due to the fact that it uses the Controlled English, which is a subset of Standard English with restricted grammar and vocabulary in order to reduce the ambiguity and complexity inherent in full English.

To conclude, Fluent Editor is ideal for those who need a stable environment for editing and correcting ontologies. Wielding both predictive editing and ease of use, the application helps you quickly validate and edit your ontologies.
