Some time ago I was privileged to participate in a big project partially funded by EU, which involved cooperation between academia and industry. The industry was a large software company  (led by my former postgraduate students by the way 😄) and I was quite sure that they would be rather opposed to things like ontologies and Description Logics. And man, I was so wrong! The team of young people was borderline enthusiastic. But what stopped the enthusiasm was lack of good and understandable ontology authoring tools. Sure, Protege is great, and they finally caught how to use it, but before it happened a good bit of the aforementioned enthusiasm was gone... Thus the idea - OWL Runner 😃

OWL Runner is a nice tool, now tested in battle conditions by several people. Still it keeps its own character being a tool used at a very early stage of ontology creation - brainstorming, gathering information about backbone of classes. But it's very intuitive, visual- and dialog-based, and able to pass the baton to the next set tools.
