OntoQuest: Exploring Ontological Data Made Easy

Summary: OntoQuest enables hands-on ontological data exploration without knowledge of ontology query languages, via context-aware guidance. Unique: extended OWL-to-back-end DB mappings beyond RDF, plus bulk insert/update of instances for scalable querying and reasoning. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
