Abstract
Ontology construction is a time consuming and labor intensive task. It may take many months to construct an ontology as according to standard practices each concept must have synonyms, domain specific definition, unique identifier and references. Current practices of ontology construction require manual data input to feed this data via programs such as Protégé etc. We designed a small application that speeds up the development of new ontologies. It provides an easy to use and convenient interface that allows to theoretically build an ontology within few days. The output of our program can be easily opened and then used into a standard ontology editor like Protégé.
