Abstract
We describe the architecture of a novel ontology and rule
editor ACE View. The goal of ACE View is to simplify viewing and
editing expressive and syntactically complex OWL/SWRL knowledge
bases by making most of the interaction with the knowledge base happen
via Attempto Controlled English (ACE). This makes ACE View radically
different from current OWL/SWRL editors which are based on formal
logic syntaxes and general purpose graphical user interface widgets. ACE
View integrates two mappings, ACE
→OWL/SWRL and OWLACE,
and is implemented as a plug-in for Protégé 4.
