A new version of OntoSpy (1.7.4) is available online. OntoSpy is a lightweight Python library and command-line tool for inspecting and visualizing vocabularies encoded in the RDF family of languages.

This version includes a hugely improved API for creating nice-looking HTML or Markdown documentation for an ontology, which takes advantage of frameworks like Bootstrap and Bootswatch.

You can take a look at the examples page to see what I'm talking about.

• GitHub: https://github.com/lambdamusic/ontospy

Here's a short video showing a typical session with the OntoSpy REPL:

Coming up next

• More advanced ontology visualizations using D3 or similar JavaScript libraries
• A better separation between the core Python library in OntoSpy and the other components. This is partly addressing the fact that the OntoSpy package has grown a bit too much, particularly from the point of view of people who are only interested in using it to create their own applications, as opposed to reusing the built-in visualizations.

Of course, any comments or suggestions are welcome as usual - please use GitHub!
