Abstract

OntoFox ("http://ontofox.hegroup.org/":http://ontofox.hegroup.org/) is a web server that facilitates ontology development by automatically fetching ontology terms and their annotations from existing ontologies and saving the results in importable RDF/OWL format. OntoFox is developed based on the MIREOT principle. Currently OntoFox can fetch ontology annotations from >10 existing ontologies. OntoFox provides an efficient approach to promote ontology sharing and interoperability.
