Plugin for Protege to support the Web Ontology Language (OWL)
http://protege.stanford.edu/plugins/owl/

Announcing the first 1.0 release of a Plugin for Protege to support the Web Ontology Language (OWL) in conjunction with the release of Protege 2.0. Protege is an open-source ontology development environment developed at Stanford Medical Informatics, supported by a large community of active users. Protege provides an intuitive editor for classes, properties, instances etc, and has extensions for ontology visualization, project management, software engineering, and many other modeling tasks.

The OWL Plugin is a major extension of Protege, allowing users to load, save, edit, visualize and classify ontologies in the Web Ontology Language, and to acquire Semantic Web contents. The OWL Plugin provides interfaces to Description Logics reasoners such as Racer and allows to access other services provided by HP Lab's Jena library. Protege and the OWL Plugin also have a powerful open-source API for programmers of custom-tailored new components such as additional reasoners and user interface widgets. With its extensible architecture, Protege can serve as a base platform for ontology-based research and development projects.
