Ontologies are being used nowadays in many areas, including bioinformatics. To assist users in developing and maintaining ontologies a number of tools have been developed. In this paper we compare four such tools, Protégé-2000, Chimaera, DAG-Edit and OilEd. As test ontologies we have used ontologies from the Gene Ontology Consortium. No system is preferred in all situations, but each system has its own strengths and weaknesses.
如今，本体论在包括生物信息学在内的许多领域都有应用。为了帮助用户开发和维护本体论，已经开发了许多工具。在本文中，我们比较了四个这样的工具，Protégé-2000、Chimaera、DAG-Edit和OilEd。作为测试本体，我们使用了来自基因本体联合会的本体。没有一个系统在所有情况下都是首选的，但每个系统都有其自身的优缺点。
