I am looking for a tool that allows for visualization of the Abox of an ontology. I am familiar with Protégé (also OntoGraf and OWLVis) and (Web)-VOWL as Ontology visualization tools. But none of those shows the Abox (Individuals and Relations) in detail. They only list individuals. I am interested in showing the relations between the individuals and their property values. Is there a tool that can do this ?

Apparently my "reputation" is not high enough to be allowed to post a comment, so I'll just somewhat abuse the answer field to share my comment and/or incomplete answer anyways.
I am also looking for a tool for visualizing OWL ABox axioms, but I have not been able to find anything that is ready for immediate use. A DDG search turned up an article from 2006, Interactive Visualization of Large OWL Instance Sets that talks about a tool called GROWL, but it looks like it was also not much more than a paper from the mid 2000s.
I can think of two possible solutions:
- Use the OWL and/or Protege APIs to create a tool or extend an existing one to visualize ABox axioms.
- Convert your instances to RDF and use a tool for visualizing RDF graphs.
The second option seems like a lot less work, so I'm looking into doing it that way.
Also, have you looked at OWLGrEd? The desktop version seems to be capable of visualizing ABox axioms with a bit more detail than the others, but there's not a lot of tools to do further manipulation of your selections.
