OntoFox is a web-based tool that supports ontology term reuse and sharing by automatically fetching ontology axioms from existing ontologies [51]. To simultaneously generate and annotate a large number of new ontology terms based on specified design patterns, Ontorat was generated [118]. The tool Ontodog generates ontology community views from a large ontology [119]. The Hegroup RDF triple store has been used as the default triple store that includes all OBO Foundry ontologies [66]. Ontobee is a linked data server that supports ontology term, dereferencing, browsing and querying. Ontobee currently supports over 130 ontologies with over two million ontology terms [66]. Ontobee has become the default linked ontology data server for publishing and browsing biomedical ontologies in the OBO foundry library. Ontobat, a tool still under development, will specifically be designed for ontology-based LOD data analysis. LOD: Linked open data; OBO: Open Biomedical Ontology; RDF: Resource Description Framework.
