- 1. Onotoa - A visual Topic Maps schema editor Dipl.-Inf. Hannes Niederhausen Topic Maps Lab Natural Language Processing Group Department of Computer Science University of Leipzig 12.11.2009 / TMRA09 Dipl.-Inf. Hannes Niederhausen (Topic Maps Lab) 12.11.2009 / TMRA09 1/13
- 2. Introduction To validate a topic map a schema is needed Schema describes the ontology of the topic map ISO working group specifies a standard - TMCL TMCL is a topic map Standard provides some CTM templates for easier writing of schemas Creating schemas with templates is nice ⇒ it get’s nicer with Onotoa Dipl.-Inf. Hannes Niederhausen (Topic Maps Lab) 12.11.2009 / TMRA09 2/13
- 3. What is Onotoa Is a visual editor for topic map schemas Started as graduate at the Topic Maps Lab Is in constant development Implements almost all constrains of the actual TMCL draft Provides visual editors to create a TMCL schema Open Source: Website: http://onotoa.topicmapslab.de Source: http://code.google.com/p/onotoa Usergroup: http://groups.google.com/group/onotoa Dipl.-Inf.

- 5. Model View Core of Onotoa User Interface Shows overview of schema and diagrams Used to create and open diagrams Dipl.-Inf. Hannes Niederhausen (Topic Maps Lab) 12.11.2009 / TMRA09 5/13
- 6. Property Details View Provides input masks of selected elements Every element has its own input mask called property page Dipl.-Inf. Hannes Niederhausen (Topic Maps Lab) 12.11.2009 / TMRA09 6/13

- 9. TMCL Diagram Visual representation based on GTM level 1 proposal Editing of all TMCL constraints possible Uses Property Details View for editing constraint and type porperties Dipl.-Inf. Hannes Niederhausen (Topic Maps Lab) 12.11.2009 / TMRA09 9/13
- 10. Same model - different views Dipl.-Inf. Hannes Niederhausen (Topic Maps Lab) 12.11.2009 / TMRA09 10/13
- 11. After the schema creation Export the schema as TMCL topic map Export possible as CTM using TMCL templates or XTM Export topic map created with tinyTiM and tinyTiM-mio Dipl.-Inf. Hannes Niederhausen (Topic Maps Lab) 12.11.2009 / TMRA09 11/13
- 12. Other features Import existing TMCL schema Export diagrams as png or svg file Dipl.-Inf. Hannes Niederhausen (Topic Maps Lab) 12.11.2009 / TMRA09 12/13
