SKOS Browser

The latest release of my pet project, the Sesame 2 Windows Client (SWC), has a nice little feature that I though was worth sharing with you: a SKOS hierarchy browser.

Many ontology editors and viewers have the option of showing a class hierarchy but to my surprise I found very few tools that could display a SKOS broader/narrower hierarchy. So I hacked one together and put it in this client.

Add your SKOS thesaurus to a Sesame Repository, point the SWC at it, go to the "Browse Hierarchy" tab and choose "SKOS Hierarchy".

For now you can only click around in the hierarchy, you can not follow cross-taxonomical links or do any editing.
