Webulous is a server for creating OWL ontologies from spreadsheets. Webulous provides a repository of ontology templates (or design patterns) that can be populated with data from spreadsheets. Webulous includes an OPPL (Ontology Pre-Processing Language) server for transforming data collected from templates into an OWL ontology. Webulous also has an accompanying Google Spreadsheet App (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webulous/noieiladpjihajkdgipcmnjcjcgplood), that connects Google Spreadsheets to a Webulous template server.
