An important aspect of ontology management is the ability to better understand your ontologies. This deliverable is a graphical user interface (GUI) for reporting functionality that is intended to provide this understanding as it provides repository browsing and various graphical reports.
The tool will be implemented partly as an eclipse plugin but mostly as a web interface application that takes into consideration usability requirements.
The diagram below depicts the planed architecture for the reporting tool deliverable.

Nature: Tool
Interfaces (API, Web Services): Graphical User Interface.
Platform:Web server.
Supported standards:WSMO
Required Libraries (OMWG, SDK Cluster, WSMO-related):
In order to report on ontologies and mappings, data needs to be in the repository first. Therefore, it is assumed that a Unicorn repository already exists on the web server host.
The Unicorn reporting tool for DIP is a J2EE web application that can be deployed on any J2EE web server.
A recommend free lightweight option is Apache Tomcat. A Tomcat installation can be downloaded from the FTP site under "30_June_Submission/ReportingTool/" directory.
To install and run Tomcat, simply extract jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18.zip file and
perform the steps in section 5.4. Then start Tomcat by running the jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18/bin/startup
script.:
Tip - It is not recommended to use Tomcat 5.5, as it is designed for Java 5.0 binaries and has low performance on Java 1.4 binaries.
Please download the "dip.war" file http://www.omwg.org/tools/dip/tools/final/dip.war, and put it under "%TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps" directory (e.g., jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18/webapps).
Now start Tomcat.
Open a browser and type the URL: http://localhost:8080/dip
Tip: If you would like to use Eclipse embedded web browser, please download "browser_plugins.zip" file and extract it to the Eclipse "plugins" directory and restart Eclipse. To open the browser in Eclipse: Window -> Show View -> Other -> Other -> Web Browser
