DAML Viewer

DAML Viewer provides a means to view the instances found in a DAML document.

Tutorial

DAML Viewer initially displays a URI Input window

Either browse for a local file or enter the URI of a document containing DAML, e.g.

and then click Fetch to obtain the Nodes View.

The Nodes View provides a list of the URIs for all resources referenced in the document.

Nodes View provides several options through its menubar.

Open an additional Nodes View on a different URI.
Get properties, including the number of resources, statements, and the current URI.
View source, which brings up a window containing the source which resulted in the current Nodes View.
Close all node view windows, which closes all Node View windows created by this Nodes View.
Exit, which either closes and terminates the program, or merely closes this Nodes View window and its Node Views, leaving any others open, based on User Input.

Clicking on a URI provides a Node View showing all of the statements involving that node.

The Node View lists all of the statements involving the specified URI.

Statements marked with a forward arrow ("-->") are those where the URI in the title bar is the subject and the Value is the object
Statements marked with a reverse arrow ("<--") are those where the URI in the title bar is the object and the Value is the subject

Node View supports several interactions

You can click on entries in the Value column to open a Node View of the indicated node. Literals don't respond to mouse clicks.
You can click on entries in the the Property column to open a Node View of the indicated property (if the ontology definitions were also included in the loaded file).
You can click on the arrow ("-->" or "<--") for a statement to open a Node View containing any reified statements made about that statement. If an error doesn't respond to mouse clicks, no reified statements were included in the loaded file.
Close the window by clicking on the X in the upper right-hand corner.

DAML Viewer is currently available as an applet, which requires the Java 2.0 Plug-in.
An open source downloadable application versionis now available. DAML Viewer uses RDF API.
