Abstract
Ontology representations are often used in areas when the knowledge is still incoherent
and there exists a need to clarify and agree on definitions, concepts and relations.
Ontology representations in their written form are however difficult to comprehend and
thus tools for better exploring and understanding the information contained therein are
in demand. Some tools providing such functionality exist, of which Protégé is the most
common. This, however, is a professional-use application which can be difficult to use
for less experienced user and which also needs installation. The aim for this thesis is to
develop a web-based tool for exploring ontology representations based on the security
and risk management (SRM) domain model and which also provides additional features
to support ontology representations about blockchain security. The developed tool named
OwlParser loads OWL files from the local computer or the web, allows browsing the
content of the ontology representation and provides SRM-based navigation. We hope
the tool will be useful for both students as well as professionals in helping to study and
explore SRM-based ontology representations.
